My library is 110,000 tracks or so, 8500 artists. Some artist may have 40+ albums under them. Because of the initial cache, iPeng will bring up an artist and the albums under the artist right away and then slowly shows the art. I've already started scrolling and most times the art has shown up by the time I get to the album I'm looking for. If I have awesome wireless strength your progress bar and caching happens pretty much instantaneous. But if I'm in certain parts of the house there is a delay bringing up album lists while it caches. It would certainly be nice to have an option to precache all artists and albums. After a rescan in iPeng, I quickly go into the artists let the cache happen and the same for all albums. It's part of my ritual, but it gives me the best performance for the rest of my session and or until my next rescan. -- Jeff Flowerday ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Jeff Flowerday's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=15883 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=80575 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
