Describe the Feature/Enhancement

(I have submitted an identical issue for the web interface.)

Some of the binary settings include the word "Enable" or "Disable" in the string. "Enable" is redundant, and "Disable" is confusing: to use such a setting, you enable the disabling of a functionality. I propose rephrasing these strings so that they are easier to parse. Here are the ones I found, and my suggestion (the extra information would need updating as well):

Playback settings

Disable auto rewind → Automatically rewind (change default to on)
Enable mp3 index seeking → mp3 index seeking (maybe change further to clarify)

Sleep timer settings

Disable shake to reset → Shake to reset (change default to on)
Disable audio fade out → Fade out audio (change default to on)
Disable vibrate on reset → Vibrate on reset (change default to on)

Why would this be helpful?

I think this would make the settings easier to understand.

Future Implementation (Screenshot)

I don't know how to visualize this clearly, sorry. As the suggestion is only string based, I hope the description above is clear enough.

Android App - 0.9.79

Sorry, I forgot to search this repository for similar issues, only searched the main one! I guess this issue also addresses "Enable" settings, and adds suggestions.
