When you browse your albums the first time the artwork display will not be instant, the server first has to re-scale the artwork and transmit it to iPeng. Later on it will usually be very quick, if you don't scroll fast it should be there instantaneously. If you scroll fast it can show up delayed but this is usually pretty quick. Definitely faster than the Apple Remote or the web interface. > > Also, if the cover art is bigger, will it look better on the screen or > is 750x750 plenty big enough? iPeng uses up to 960x960 on the iPod 4/iPhone 4 but generally 750x750 should be fine, the "typical" resolution (if you don't select to use oversized artwork in landscape) will be 640x640.
750x750 is fine, if you consider getting an iPad and want to be perfect you'd use 768x768 :) That said: if you can _get_ bigger artwork it may be worth while, who knows what the future will bring... -- pippin --- see iPeng, the Squeezebox iPhone remote and *New: iPeng for iPad*, at penguinlovesmusic.com ------------------------------------------------------------------------ pippin's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=13777 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=51929 _______________________________________________ plugins mailing list plugins@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/plugins
