Do you really think the risk is so high that it's not worth the
implemention? It's one button. The risk is higher that the user doesn't
get his selection to be played due to "other - no" which may lead to
frustration.

I actually believe that new users take the time to read 4 little lines
of text, especially if they expected music to be played back.

Well, it'll also hit every user which never changed the default setting.
Due to the way Rockbox works, settings that are not changed will always
be the default, even if the default value changes

This way of showing the warning wouldn't at all reduce the way it works.
The warning will show up, just that the user can decide in place if he
wants to be notified.

I think my proposal is just as reasonable to new users, and more
reasonable to users who know what they do.
