iPeng keeps the list of artists and albums and genres but doesn't do queries against that. The reason is that you can not get all information from the server. There can be additional tags (artistsort, albumsort, more than on artist per album,... there are a thousand varieties) that iPeng doesn't know about so in a lot of cases the internal lookup would not be correct. So the "main" list of artists is cached but if you descend into an artist the albums are queried from the server. Even if iPeng improves caching, this will stay this way but iPeng will then cache that response and use the cached value for the next try. You will only profit if you use the same queries more than once and you don't change your library too often because since the server doesn't provide any cache management iPeng has to throw away all cached data whenever anything changes in your library. -- pippin --- see iPeng, the Squeezebox iPhone remote, at penguinlovesmusic.com ------------------------------------------------------------------------ pippin's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=13777 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=51929 _______________________________________________ plugins mailing list plugins@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/plugins
