Why do you need a menu item labelled the way you want it if there's a perfectly working way to achieve the same thing by using an option labelled differently? Should we also rename "backdrop" to "background" because other systems use the other term? Rename "plugins" to "apps" because the latter term became popular lately? Or ...

Why are you personally attacking me?

Thats not a person attack and is entirely appropriate given your post. However, your reply is extremely disrespectful, if not openly dishonest. I already warned you via PM. Be respectful to people or do not bother replying to them.

I think we already do. Unless you have something else specific in mind, I think we can consider this problem addressed.
Chronon:
I don't think most Rockbox users really care what it's called, but speaking for myself, I find that "precut" clearly describes the functionality.
Datman:
I think he's asking for a compressor/limiter.
I don't need a limiter, for the medium sensitivity of my earphones and ba bit of gumption when I use other ones. Many people ask for a limiter defeating on some DAPs...
In addition the acoustic level is strongly dependent on the earphones sensitivity, that can be very different from each other.
In my Rockboxed Fuze I've found the compressor: its function is to raise the medium level reducing the crest factor. It has only two settings for the gain: off or auto.
Setting Ratio to oo (infinite, limiter) and a new "Ceiling" function to something lower than 0dB you can limit the volume to the desired value.

From his eventual description, I'm pretty sure he actually just wanted a way to lower the maximum volume level you could set, aka a precut option, which we do have. But yes its hard to say since he didn't really seem to understand himself what he was asking for.
Regardless, we have both precut and compression, so if the OP ever figures out what he wanted, hes welcome to use either!
Strife89:
I'm inclined to agree that "Precut" does seem a tad confusing for the less-informed user. Perhaps changing it to something like "Maximum Volume" or "Volume Cap" might help?
