Oh I see...I kinda get how it works now... Let me ask one more thing please, if it downloads 35 megs for one artist and other artists are added to the point of the cache limit and then more are added will it stop other artists from downloading images if the cache limit has been reached because one artist might have 35 megs of images? Hope I asked that right. If more artist are added will it delete some images automatically from the artist with 35 megs in order to have space for new artist? also all of the musicbrainz.nfo files are empty is that normal if most of my artist have MBID's?

The cache manager checks the cache size after downloading all images for an artist and then deletes the oldest artists' images if needed.

Specific example:

pretend cache is set at 5mb (so I don't have to do a really long example)
download 2mb worth of images for Sting
cache now at 2mb, so nothing happens
download 2mb worth of Cher images
cache now at 4mb, so nothing happens
download 4mb of Billy Joel images
cache now at 8mb, delete Sting images
cache now at 6mb, delete Cher images
cache now at 4mb, so nothing else happens

Also, the cache manager won't delete the images for the currently playing artist, so on the off chance you have an artist with more images than your cache will hold, you'll be able to see them while the song is playing, but they would be deleted immediately after. I doubt that would ever happen though. I can't imagine one artist ever having even 64mb of images.

Hope that helps.
