Sometimes, after eight or nine hours, I launch Gizmo and it has remembered the playing now list, sometimes it doesn't. I really wish that it would do so reliably, all the time.
With the read ahead cache, this is more important for me than ever now. Why? Because I predominantly use a random smartlist that picks me a selection of 60 tracks rated 4 or 5 that have not been played in the past seven days.
When I get home and press 'stop', there are 10 tracks downloaded, ready to play, so later, when returning to Gizmo, I should be good to carry on from there.
When playing now has been discarded, the chances of the new smartlist tracks being in the cache are slim to none, which is a waste.
I have an unlimited data plan with, allegedly, no 'fair use' policy attached, but even so, my usage would typically be around 2.5Gb/m and this month, I've already hit 3.5Gb and there's still 10 days to go yet!
Fixing the playing now issue would bring this figure down drastically.
