Roon doesn't remember thumbnails?

The artwork changed included…

The way Roon handles images today is essentially the same as how every other app that you use handles images. They are fetched on the fly at view-time and cached in various ways inside of the application to speed up future views. In the backend, we use a content distribution network to globally distribute the images and make sure that load times are fast for everyone. In most cases it works very well and the experience difference is minor. We can work to improve the other cases.

that being said, I believe that work is being done to speed up display based on recent feedback in that same thread.

Artist images very slow to appear

Because it wasn’t a bug, it was a consequence of some re-architecture. We couldn’t roll it back without breaking lots of other stuff, so we had to push forward with a refinement to the new approach. I explained the architectural change in detail higher up in this topic. It’s in QA testing now, and going well. It will be out soon.
