Another suggestions that came to mind was to offer some way to adjust the volume when not in the now playing menu. I've encountered many times where when switching the player on, the volume level stays at whatever setting it was last left at. Hence, there's no way to change the previous volume setting without playing a song first, and sometimes, the song begins playing louder than one would like for it to. I've found that throughout the day, I start listening at very low volumes, and slowly increase the volume over the span of listening. So by the end of it, the last level at which I left the volume at is slightly higher than what I'd like for the starting volume to be. Hope that makes sense.
