Request - Preload Zero Songs

While preload is a great feature, I'd like to be able to turn it off to cut down on mobile data usage. I skip to the next track very often while in shuffle play, so the preload goes to waste by downloading a track I end up skipping over anyway. I also tried disabling the cache all together by setting it to zero but that didn't seem to have any effect on the preloading of tracks.

Thanks for a great app!

Sure, that shouldn't be too hard to add.

PS. Setting cache size to 0 is probably a bad idea, as it won't stop it from downloading it, it will just stop it from actually keeping the result.

I find myself in the same boat as Alexss; lots of skipping and limited bandwidth (mobile user). I've been creating playlists to get around this, but every once in awhile I find myself wanting to skip through albums to find certain songs. Setting preload to 1 helps a lot, but when I don't know the track name and have to go through the album one track at a time, it eats up my bandwidth.

Anyway, is there an ETA on when this feature could be added? Thanks in advance!

P.S. I'm a new user and am loving Subsonic!

Hmm, I'm not seeing it in the settings. Only 1, 2, 3, 5, 10, and unlimited. I am still just trying out the free version, could this be why?
