Stunningly, nopCommerce does not seem to be designed to handle stores that sell anything besides traditional products that only require a Manufacturer and Description. (IE: Sony Playstation).
In order to sell Media items, things like books, CD's, DVD's etc, you need the concept of Artist/Author (Pearl Jam, Led Zeppelin) and Genre (Rock, Pop, Country) as well.
They need to be QUICKLY filterable. Specification Attributes do not work as they're meant to be secondary filter keys, whereas Artist and Genre need to be Primary filters. (IE: People START filtering by Artist lists, or Genres). And it has to be designed in such a way where 100,000+ SKU's aren't an issue. That means actual table columns with actual proper indexes, etc.
I've been trying for months, spent a bunch of money to try and make this product work and it's been an absolute disaster. 10 second category page loads just don't cut it.
Sure there are a bunch of 3rd-party developers willing to charge me thousands of dollars to fix the code and try and make this actually work properly for media.
Am I really missing something here?

I guess you are. 10 secs is too long. Is that on your local or on webserver? There should be something wrong.
Great thing about nopcommerce is you can modify it however you want according to your needs. It is an open source solution. Sometimes you cannot do anything for free and instead of spending months some developer can make you save from time which is more important. Even you know coding sometimes everyone needs helps. Now my company is paying someone for developing something for us. It doesn't mean we cannot do it but we just don't have time for that.
Nopcommerce is one of the best e-commerce solution and best in asp.net(my opinion) and a lot safer.
So I would suggest you to use forum more efficiently and I am sure there will be ppl willing to help you.

Defensive, are we?
I'm not going to turn this into a debate. I cited my frustrations, and some suggested changes I'd like to see. I understand and appreciate how much work has gone into Nop however I was just suggesting some additional functionality to make it more capable - out of the box without custom code or plugins - for people who aren't just selling general goods. I didn't think adding the concept of Artist and Genre was a bad suggestion.
You stated that I must be missing something, yet cited no helpful insights or examples of any way this can already be done. (I know this is not what this particular forum is for however if there already IS functionality that I'm requesting then say so).
Do you know of any site that's selling media products and has over 100,000+ SKU's that is using the out-of-the-box nopCommerce package, without spending thousands to bring it to a state where their site actually runs functionally? Please, I want to be proven wrong. Yes I am aware given it's open-source nature I can add on whatever functionality I need - thereby creating my own code branch rendering future upgrades difficult at best.
Rather than hear my frustrations and offer something constructive, you resort to pretty much a flame.

Well you can suggest this idea for newer versions. There is a forum post about where ppl tell their suggestions. now they are doing it for 3.70. Please feel free to share your thoughts there.

Hi gbitsvcs,
There are already indexes on various tables including the Product and Category tables. 100,000 products is not a lot and the system should already handle that amount very well. Perhaps hardware on the system you are using needs increased (e.g. RAM, faulty hard drive, CPU). Can you check those?
Thanks,
Bruce

I'm working on a plugin which does exactly this, handling the music catalogs for different labels, including channel distribution and streaming.
Because of that project I'm investigating packaging a plugin which uses Azure Media Services (and Azure WebJobs for encoding jobs) and provides the above functionality.
If someone is interested, let me know.
Thanks
