Hi @Tekl,
We wanted to iron out the confusion around offline album caching for “light browsing” (including Discography pages).
At this time, ARC does not download discography album covers for Artists in your library - in Offline mode, you can’t browse through the discography page in the Artist browser.
If you switch to Offline Mode, any artwork that ARC has not yet cached will not be visible, even in your Albums and Artists browser. For instance, if you set up a new ARC instance and immediately toggle Offline Mode before browsing at all, you will find no album art visible. It’s not yet been downloaded.
If you see artwork that ARC had already cached suddenly disappear in Offline Mode, the team will investigate as a bug.
There’s always room for improvement. Please add your voice/vote to a feature request for more aggressive caching in ARC if this is affecting your experience. Feature Suggestions.
Thank you!
