This was not how it behaved with SC 7.2. In 7.2 I am pretty > sure once iPeng loaded the artwork is was always there, no? > No. iPeng (any 1.0.x version) will always try to load one chunk of album data first to find out if the cache is still valid, if not, it loads all other album data. When album data is finished, it starts to load artwork. Artwork is being loaded from the server the first time, consecutive loads are from the iPhone's flash disk. There's two ways to start album loading. One is to enter the albums page, the other is to wait for 30s or so, after which a timer kicks in to start loading the album data automatically. This is being done to keep server load low since right after start iPeng first loads the current playlist and that can actually be HUGE. This is also the reason why iPeng crashes after several seconds with the "The The" bug. Now, when iPeng starts to load artwork, it will load quite a bit of it ahead, so if you enter "Albums" after a minute or so, it will appear as if all artwork had always been there. > > Also I hear it mentioned that one can close iPeng and its state will be > saved.

No, iPhone OS does not multitask (3rd party)applications. Whenever you leave iPeng the application is fully shut down. exile;370000 Wrote: > > i checked out known issues. i don't think anything applied to my > situation but I'll go down that path if the cache clearing doesn't > work. Please read the comments I made before in this post (answering Aesculus' question). Please try thy workaround for the "The The" issue (setting ignored articles to empty). There are other names that only consist of articles than "The The". -- pippin --- see iPeng at penguinlovesmusic.com ------------------------------------------------------------------------ pippin's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=13777 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=55514 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
