Given that album covers load in under a second on my Controller I'm not sure we really need any extra caching there. The few album audio preview is an interesting idea, but again my player can start playing music the normal way with a few tenths of a second when playing back the normal way, so I'm not convinced that even if you were implementing that you would need any caching. As to preferences and ranking, if the Controller is connected to the server then the server is the right place to store those. If it isn't connected the the server then it is pretty much dead in the water... Most of the things that it would make sense to cache (that might not already be cached) are relatively small bits of data. Given that my Controller has something like 24MB of RAM free that would be the best place to cache anything like that. -- andynormancx ------------------------------------------------------------------------ andynormancx's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=17417 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=47695 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
