Menu reworking
Febs:
I could see putting replaygain under sound settings, but IMO, crossfade is clearly a playback option.
ego:
well.... yeah, i guess it should be with shuffle and repeat.
but that gets me thinkin, should playback mode really be in a different place from volume? i know they made the quick menu for easy access, but the QM would be less important if the more commonly used options were in one place. maybe a deeper re-organization makes sense - i'd imagine most people set the balance, channels, and stereo width one and forget about 'em, and (this one's more open to debate) i pretty rarely change my EQ, just switching between off for line out and one setting for my headphones. on the other hand, shuffle, repeat, crossfade, and auto change directory i might use more frequently.
is something like that within the scope of what we're talking about, a scrapping of the current subheadings to make things more practical?

I personally wouldn't like to have the bookmarks on the first menu item as i never use them.

I can understand your thoughts. I use bookmarks and like having them readily accessible, as I'm sure others do ...

IMHO 'Crossfeed' belongs to sound settings (=what to do with the sound). Whereas 'Crossfade' is rightfully placed in the Playback settings (=what to play).

any thoughts on my suggestion that 'sound settings' and 'playback settings' might not be the best way to organize a menu system? that there may be another way, that would group more commonly used settings away from less commonly used settings? something like
Basic-
Volume
Shuffle
Repeat
Bass
Treble
EQ
Crossfade
Crossfade Duration
Replaygain
Crossfeed
Advanced
Balance
Channels
Stereo Width
Play Selected First
Resume on Startup
FF/RW steps
Fade on stop/pause
Auto Change Directory
Anti-Skip and Beep Volume may or may not be better suited to system settings, Optical Recording should be a recording option, and ID3 tag priority should be a display option.
i know if the menus were organized in this way, i would rarely if ever go into the advanced menu once the settings were set up the first time. if other people agree, this or something similar might be worth considering.
