For now, SqueezeCommander uses caching for images only. The browse lists (artist/album/... browse) are not cached on startup, yet. I've planning to implement this feature, though: http://www.squeezecommander.com/trac/ticket/49 Nevertheless, browsing your library in SqueezeCommander is pretty fast, because it uses an incremental data transfer. So only the needed parts are fetched from the server. BTW: A video is a good idea. I'll try to create one after the next release (because the next release will include an improved GUI with better list layout). By default, SqueezeCommander does not interfere with the sleep mode of your Android device. I.e. your devices falls asleep after 30 seconds or so and the screen is switched off. In this case, SqueezeCommander does not query your server anymore, until you reactivate your device and it should not affect battery life. SqueezeCommander has an option to keep your screen on. If you activate this feature, and SqueezeCommander is the foreground app, the screen is only dimmed but not switched off. In this case, SqueezeCommander will also keep polling the server for status updates. This will significantly reduce the battery life, but some users (like me :) ) find it more convenient. In any case, if SqueezeCommander is not the foreground app (e.g. if you press the home button), it will stop all network activity. (Ok, the only exception are downloads: If you start a download from the server to your phone, this will continue to run in background, even if SqueezeCommander itself is not active anymore) -- flattermann Home of 'SqueezeCommander' (http://www.squeezecommander.com) - The SqueezeBox Remote Control App for Android ------------------------------------------------------------------------ flattermann's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=33169 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=69352 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
