Setting limit volume on rockbox?
saratoga:
I don't see the point of argueing about this. If someone wants the feature, let them create a patch for it, then we can evaluate the patch and decide if its worth including, or if we should just make it an optional feature for 3rd party builds.
lowlight:
There's acutally a dangerous bug in the volume menu...the list wraps allowing you to go from min->max. Since the volume updates as you scroll, be careful :o

And in my mind that makes it very difficult to justify, independent of size.
I can easily see how it would be important to some people, but I really don't understand why those people find it so difficult to not turn up the volume. I guess that's my problem, that I can't see their point of view at all.

Hi! I'm resurrecting this thread after using the search feature on the forums, looking for just this function.
I have a rockboxed Gigabeat and I believe that for certain targets this function could be more important than for others. On the Gigabeat it's entirely too easy to raise the volume by mistake, considering it's bound to the up/down commands on the touch-sensitive cross. It happened to me the other day and I risked seriously damaging my hearing.
It probably might be easier to take away volume control from the cross, as I mentioned somewhere else, but I just wanted to point out that it's not just a matter of "it's not tough not to turn up the volume".
Cheers!

As a user who is prone to making mistakes, I think this option would be very good.

You can achieve a similar result in Rockbox right now by using the ReplayGain pre-amp and Equalizer pre-cut settings.
