Subject: Custom directory settings

This whole 'directory settings' idea is good, here's how I see
it happening:
* Settings are stored in a .ini (or something) file
EQ
volume (proportional)
shuffle
others?
* Settings can be applied via the file view
* A settings file named "dir.ini" (or something) is
automatically applied for all songs in the directory
* Settings files can also contain specifications for individual
mp3s (perhaps even globbing)
* When playing a playlist, apply each song's settings
apply those like vol, eq
ignore those like shuffle
* The master settings file is stored in /.rockbox
The format might be something like
[all]
vol=0.5 #average volume
treble=1
bass=0.1
[big bass.mp3]
bass=0.9
[too loud.mp3]
vol=0.1 # who is the moron who encoded this??
In fact, you could store all possible settings in this (it's
not inconceivable someone would want a different wps for an audiobook or
to show non-mp3s only in their movies directory).
