I think you got your wires crossed. If you remember back to the start of the season (2nd episode, i think), when Starbuck's in her old apartment and plays music she says was by her father - that piece was actually by Glass. It's called Metamorphosis One and it's from the album
Solo Piano.

At the beginning of this season, the first one or two episodes didn't have the clips, and I thought they'd come to their senses.

It's just a throwback to shows like Thunderbirds and Space: 1999 (the main inspiration for it, according to Moore) that did the same thing. Even the original BSG did it. I don't see it as particularly spoilerific, since there's no context as to what is going on and why, but I can see why people might find it annoying.
As for this week's ep, I found it kind of lacklustre. There were some great moments - like Roslin cracking up during the teaser - and Dean Stockwell was great in his scenes with the Chief, but the political stuff was too obvious and the Caprica rescue mission was ridiculous. I couldn't see Adama risking 20 raptors and who-knows-how-many men for what seemed like 20 civies, in the end; and I couldn't care less whether Anders was alive. The episode just stopping didn't help matters any, either. Guess the real payoff will be next week.
