Re: Is there a way to make all the album covers load automatically?

That viewer looks like Facets to me (correct me if I'm wrong), and the behavior I remember suggested that Facets loads covers as needed -- I could hear my HD grinding as I scrolled through my albums. It's been quite some time since Facets was updated, so I doubt we'll see any further optimization.
What is the resolution of the jpg's? I'm not embedding my covers, so I can't speak from experience, but it's logical that large images would load much more slowly, especially if the music files are on a slow HD. If you can't offload the covers to a faster drive, perhaps smaller images would help. You could experiment with a few files (make backups first, of course).
