But I don't /ever/ create playlists on the fly. I use pre-built playlists
for complete albums, and some home-made playlists that are all built on
the PC and then loaded up. This would be something I would never use, and
I resent having my usage "broken" in this way! Ok, a bit over-dramatic :-)
but there are as many opinions on what a spare button should do as there
are users of Rockbox. However many you satisfy with a change like this,
there will likely be more people that woudn't have chosen that fixed
action to be bound to that button.

I'm still of the opinion that until we have some kind of choice for the
user (either from a limited preset list of actions, or full configuration,
either way including the "none" option), we shouldn't be changing current
keybindings on already-released players.
