config per directory?

The problem is that most of the time I decide to shuffle when I already playing (got bored with same order). Also "insert shuffle" will not work for auto-change directory, will it?
Local config covers it all ...

For the times you want to shuffle after creating a playlist, use "Reshuffle" in Context Menu -> Playlist

What is the audio disadvantage of having crossfeed on with these types of audio?

To clarify, I tend to listen to albums in random order (random folder advance). Some (especially) older albums tend to be mixed with certain instruments panned hard left or right. Crossfeed improves the experience of listening to such albums considerably. On the other hand, I prefer not to apply crossfeed to some types of electronic music, for instance. Some method of automating setting changes should enable crossfeed to be applied only to the albums I want.
Confuseling:
One other thing that hasn't been explicitly mentioned is that the number of hard-disk based players is declining relative to flash based ones. Presumably, on a flash target, the buffer problem is irrelevant?
Maybe it would be interesting to run a poll, to find out the distribution among RB users. I'm assuming that there are more using hard-disks, because most targets are a few years old - but I wonder by how much?

No, they all use the same buffering system. Theres just one rockbox for all devices.
Confuseling:
I don't quite follow you. Isn't "spinning up" flash essentially costless? Doesn't that mean that for an increasing proportion of targets, the buffer problem is irrelevant - that you can load a config file between each track, and not suffer from a noticeable battery impact?
I'm not saying that that discounts it, just that it bears consideration (unless I've misunderstood...)
