Album Art only loaded on scroll??
 
Currently, album art (in Media Library > Local Media views) only loads when it comes into view. Is there anyway to get Winamp to load them all in the background at startup? Please?

After 10 months without a reply, shall I take that as a "no"? :rolleyes:

It's not really feasible I think. You would need to cache thousands of thumbnails that might never be used. And since album art can be resized within Winamp at will, what size would you make them even if you did ?

Maybe some sort of speculative prefetch ... but very hit and miss and probably not worth it.

Keeping your source files reasonably small is probably the best way to speed things, processing large files can be quite intensive if you want acceptable results.

Not a problem I've noticed much as I only have two albums on view at any one time.
