Yes, but developing habit is not good. Because you always can forget about it - and damage your ears. This should me #1 feature, i think.

Does that work automatically? I didn't think Rockbox read a config file as part of the boot sequence...

Llorean:
I think Febs meant it in the context of "Launch the config file before resuming playback."

The very simplest way to protect your ears is to disable auto-resume, and actually check the volume before you start playback.

Even with a fade in, the fade in won't prevent it from getting terribly loud, it'll just take a second or two to get there, and you'll still probably end up there because you keep expecting the fade to stop at a reasonable level anyway.

That's not human way, that's robot way.

Many players has limitation of volume at start, limitation or smooth increasing up to defined before turn-off level.

That only works if you assume the person is using the stock player headphones.  With rockbox, that might not be a good assumption, and some people with sensitive headphones would still get blasted, while others with less sensistive ones would get too quiet output.

If you're really concerned, why not use replaygain to adjust the playback level of your files a little?

Llorean:
You could always set the replaygain to normalize at a level that is your maximum listening volume, so at 0dB volume, your files are not painful, and you're always just working down.

Handy volume limiting, no extra calories from fat.
