more volume

Could the maximum volume be increased by a few dB?  . 

I realise that we do not want to deafen users, but I find that some tracks are too quiet for me against moderate background noise.  If it is relevant I am using a Sansa E200. 

Would it be possible to detect loud tracks and/or peak volume so that the stupid would be protected from themselves?    Allowing a maximum volume of say +10dB with an over volume protection could be an improvement. 

saratoga:
Volume is determined by the hardware.

Also, gain above 0dB introduce distortion.  If the target actually supported +10dB, its unlikely you'd like what you heard at that volume.  Get more sensitive headphones, an amplifier, or a louder mp3 player if you need more volume.

GodEater:
Or invest in replaygain on your quiet tracks.

Not to mention hearing loss

Distortion is less noticeable on a bus. :)
