The cache is already stored on the PPC. At the moment I can't connect to
the MySQL database directly so I have to run the database tool on a
desktop to do that part. This creates an SQLite database that then has
to be copied to the PPC. Eventually I'll have to find a way to do the
database download directly in PocketSqueeze but its not a high
priority.

I'll have to think about the A-Z. It would be very hard to implement on
the album and track lists (because it would have to be based on the
current sort criteria) but maybe I could do it just for the artist,
genre and year lists. I'm not sure I have space for it either.

I have a couple of other ideas for moving through long lists quickly
though. At the moment the left/right direction keys move through the
list and will trigger page changes. On my Axim these keys auto-repeat
if they are held down. I'm also thinking of implementing a
touch-slide-hold function on the screen which will trigger
auto-repeating page advances.
