The perceived loudness change of a change in volume depends
on the listening volume: at high volumes a 1 dB increment is
noticeable, but at low volumes a larger increment is needed
to get a comparable change in loudness.
Perceptual volume adjustment accounts for this fact, and
divides the hardware volume range into a number of steps.
Each step changes the dB volume by a variable amount, with
most of the steps concentrated at higher volumes. This
makes it possible to sweep over the entire hardware volume
range quickly, without losing the ability to finely adjust
the volume at normal listening levels.
Use "Volume Adjustment Mode" in the system settings menu
to select perceptual volume mode. The number of steps used
is controlled by "Number of Volume Steps". (Number of steps
has no effect in direct adjustment mode.)
It's still possible to set a specific dB volume level from
the sound settings menu when perceptual volume is enabled,
and perceptual volume does not affect the volume displayed
by themes.

Increase the default limit to 5000 files for targets with at
least 8 MiB of RAM (the vast majority). The upper limit of the
setting is now 40,000 or 100,000 if you have at least 8 MiB or
16 MiB of RAM, respectively.
Update the manual to mention that this setting can also impact
the database browser. "Using the Database" already mentions it,
but it's useful to say so in the setting's description.

These settings have a warning that increasing them will shorten the
audio buffer. This is not very useful, because users might not know
what "shortening the music buffer" implies.
Since the size of the audio buffer is probably irrelevant for flash
based storage, display the warning only for HDD-based targets, and
explain what the drawbacks may be if the settings are set too high.

Add a new setting,
database path: /path/to/folder
to change where the database files are stored, which allows it to
be shared by multiple builds when using multiboot. This avoids the
need to maintain a separate copy of the database for each build.
This setting can only be set from the config file; it has no menu
option yet (due to lack of a GUI to pick the directory).

USB ask mode is basically a footgun: it can't work on native targets
and doesn't work reliably on hosted ones, and it continually produces
a slow trickle of problems. FS#13317 gives a rundown of the issues.
Removing the setting seems like the best solution for now, since a fix
would be pretty involved.
This partially reverts 60f581e8f5. The USB Mode setting is left in
place so the option can be added back later in a non-buggy way.

file is selected.

applicable, regardless of playback state.

- Update the manual entry for PictureFlow with
the latest features and fix keymap
- Strongly suggest enabling the database's
"Load to RAM" feature (in my experience, this
can lead to a ~60x speedup when building the
album index)
- Suggest enabling the dircache, as it can
noticeably improve the loading times for
album art.

Recording works now, although I'm sure there will be a few
things that need fine-tuning. A major issue is that writing
to the SD card creates noticable interference, which happens
on the original firmware too but seems worse under Rockbox.
(Since Rockbox waits until RAM fills up before writing data,
the interference will only be heard on >50 MiB recordings.)

Large embedded album art can cause pauses during
playback or when skipping between tracks, especially
on older devices, but embedded art is currently loaded
even when separately stored smaller image files would be
available.
A workaround is to remove large album art from the
metadata of files.
This now adds a setting to either turn off loading of
album art completely, or to prefer loading the album art
from a separate image file and thus ignore the embedded
versions.
