And then the user's first experience with browsing on Jive is really, really slow artwork loading. We decided that was a bad experience. Disk space for caching some thumbnails is cheap, surely someone with a big music collection must agree with this. :) Anyway, we know it's slow, so please see http://bugs.slimdevices.com/show_bug.cgi?id=7104 if you're interested in this issue. _______________________________________________ beta mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/beta
