Sometimes all my settings get cleared
|2eM!x:
Why would you ever want to clear your settings like that? Wouldnt it make more sense to be in System -> Reset to Original state
I'm sorry but I always leave the hold button on, and as soon as my ipod turns on I have it so it should auto start music and I switch it on pretty much immediately.
I know rockbox isnt meant to suit my own needs but is this something other people experience as a hassle?

It seems silly, I agree, but if you just save your configuration settings when it DOES happen it's a simple fix. ;D

What if you have a auto-resume on a song that crashes the iPod? This way, as soon as the iPod starts, everything is reset.
I agree, though, that it might be nice to allow people to put the hold on almost immediately as soon as it _starts_ booting, as opposed to when it finishes booting.
I assume the reason hold was used is that it's foolproof; as opposed to someone not holding another button for long enough. Perhaps, however, there's another reason...

You can reset settings from within Rockbox, however leaving aside the argument over which button should be used for a moment, there are very good reasons to be able to reset settings on start-up. Off the top of my head:
a) As mikeage said, auto-resume turned on but for some reason this crashes - maybe you have deleted the file since (actually Rockbox should cope with this, but you never know) or for some reason the resume information got corrupted and you get into a never ending restart/crash cycle?
b) The background and foreground colours get set to the same thing, or you have a black backdrop, select a different theme with black font but the theme doesn't correctly clear the backdrop, so now you can't see the menu to reset from within rockbox.
c) Some other setting gets corrupted so that you get a crash or startup
d) You are blind and want a sure fire to reset all settings in case voice has messed up and you need a 'fresh' install for someone to help talk you through key presses.
e) It is an additional way of resetting so you can be sure all values are default for troubleshooting/bug finding.

Is there anyway I, personally not having any of these problems, can shut this feature off?
