From: Kyle Kampy <kkamperschroer_at_gmail.com>
Date: Mon, 29 Aug 2011 08:04:44 -0500 As an end user looking in, I'd just like to point out that the order of the menus really is a matter of personal preference, and there is no way that everybody will agree. I believe that customization in menu ordering would be a very good idea, so that if people don't like the static ordering, it would be easy enough to change. I know I'm not a Rockbox developer so hopefully adding to this discussion isn't frowned upon, but I do like Jonathon's layout mentioned first in this thread where Settings is a sub-menu of System. That seems most intuitive to me, although I'm sure others disagree.
