I agree that a one-key solution might be nice, but I think the MENU
depressed simultaneously with + and minus to change the volume isn't that
bad. That's how we do it now, and that's how Archos does it too.

I think that's a waste of space, so I suggest we have a Newbie/Advanced
setting, so those who know the keys can have some other info on that line.

Absolutely. That is what most common CD players do.

Yes.
