Could you possibly implement a cancel function for the cache refresh? I
rebuilt my library (just under 20000 albums) a few days ago, which
meant that when I next fired up Squeezey it tried to re-add everything
to its cache (and yes, I have seen the entry about this in the FAQ :-))
The problem I encountered was that the program crashed part-way through
the refresh. I re-booted the iPad, just to make sure that memory was
freed up, and restarted Squeezey, which started refreshing its cache,
but it just hung, displaying "32333/19853". I left it for a looooong
time, but it didn't change. I tried quitting & restarting, but to no
avail. And, of course, while the cache is being refreshed you can't do
anything else. In the end, the only thing that I could do was uninstall
the program & re-download it from the app store, which seems a bit of a
drastic solution. What I would have liked to have done is cancel the
refresh, then go into the settings dialog & empty it. So is there any
chance that you can implement a "cancel" function for the refresh?
Alternatively, how about not starting the refresh immediately, but
having a dialog pop up with two options, allowing you to choose whether
to add new items to the cache or rebuild it from scratch? If the user
didn't select an option within a short time (3 - 4s, maybe) it would
default to adding new items (i.e., the current behaviour).

Cheers,
Tony
