I want to 'bump' this thread and at the same time put my own (somewhat insignificant) weight behind it.

Genixia originally put it across much better than I have here but I have purposefully put this in (my) layman's terms.......

To illustrate a use for User Settings, the following is a brief list of my listening useage for last weekend.

It is listed by: Situation, Audience, Album (or playlist), gain, Fader

Friday night drive home: Solo. Yello. -4db. Balance optimised for driver.
Saturday shopping trip: Family (partner, child & dogs in car). Moby. -12db. Front/rear balance moved frontward for the benefit of backseat passengers (and pets).
Sunday excursion: Me & parent: Abba. -25db. Balance optimised for driver.
Monday drive to work: Solo: Pink Floyd. -12db. Balance optimised for driver.

It would be great if I could define all these settings with Emplode (or other tools) and select the User Setting at boot.
