iPeng does already cache the artwork and the long lists (albums, artists, genres, albums by artists). It will do even more of that in one of the upcoming releases but this will only have an impact on speed. The network load is negligible except for these long lists (the server load is not, though) and browsing the whole library when offline is problematic for other usability reasong, I don't know yet how far that will be possible. -- 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 [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/plugins
