After starts there will always be a small delay. But if you scroll, often (not always) the artwork will be there. And if it's nit there it will often show up while you scroll. I clear the memory cache (like you do) when sending the App to the background to avoid getting it quit too soon for

Hi Stefan Small request if possible. I noticed that the cover art gets cached only if u browse to the relevant album. So initially all albums appear with no cover art, unless u browse to them. Would it be possible to have a cache mechanism that would run on the background and cache cover art even

The corresponding word would be gals or girls, but I wouldn't start a post, Hi Guys and Girls! I always use Hi Folks and a generic way to address both sexes but I know some females who hate this being used. In short, I think it's impossible to please everyone, just do as you please! CW P.s. You
