Nonononono! Again: 1. This has nothing to do with the artwork. 2. Cooperative multitasking hit's it on the head. The issue is that iPeng is sorting the database while it's being imported. I do have a fix for this that is currently in beta and that I will probably submit to Apple tomorrow. 3. That means: the best way to get around this is: just wait. Quitting iPeng once after it's finished is probably a good idea since iPeng saves the database on exit and if it crashes, it will start anew. 4. If the database gets out of sync, "Flush Cache" WILL help, yet on large databases (>2.000 albums) it can take up to a few minutes until everything is loaded. I have sometimes experienced the effect that the database is not fully displayed when reloaded, often it helps to switch to another category (e.g. "Artists") and back. It does help to quite and re-start iPeng (no re-installing). 5. When iPeng does not start to load artwork, this means it's not yet finished loading the database. 6. With the fix we are testig right now, performance with large libraries will significantly improve at the expense of synchronization time with small databases - actually it's not the sync time itself but the fact that some stuff now happens in the background, which in turn means you can always scroll, which in turn takes up like 95% of the CPU on iPhone.... On large libraries it will get much faster since there is less sorting going on and the CPU load got so heavy on 1.0 that iPeng appears to hang. -- pippin --- see iPeng at penguinlovesmusic.com ------------------------------------------------------------------------ pippin's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=13777 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=55514 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
