Hi Steven, your application is AMAZING. Thank you SO MUCH. :-*

Would it be easy to increase the maximum album art display size in the MUSIC tab? Say, 500px per side? That way it would feel more like browsing through vinyl album covers rather than tiny thumbnails.

Is this what you are looking for- or perhaps you mean to increase the max capacity which doesn't seem possible within the confines of the panel.

One idea this does give me is perhaps to add increment percentages along the bottom if the bar i.e


[-90_-80_-70_-60_-50_-40_-50_-30_-20_-10_0 (normal) 110_120_130....

Naturally there's limited size to work with within the menu- so it may have to be in 20% increments.

Due to my disability, I've always a hard time adjust/fine tuning the size slider, Would be great to have the option to click 'picture size' to open a dialog and being able to type a #x# scale or zoom percentage- and possibly have + and - buttons to adjust/fine-tune- either on the drop down menu, in a dialog or both- the bigger the better!

Welcome to the forum chrismeraz.
Are you using MusicBee 3.3 or 3.4?
The artwork used to be a bit smaller (I believe 224x224), but for 3.4 the maximum size was increased to 330x330.

Thanks guys, I didn't know 3.4 was out - yes, that's perfect! 330px per side is just about right! It looks great. Thanks Steven! :-*

If you're referring to the Album Art view I don't think this would be workable as there is no "normal" size. If you make the window (or panel) wider, the art gets wider. And visa-versa.
Download the latest MusicBee v3.5 or 3.6 patch from here.
Unzip into your MusicBee directory and overwrite existing files.

You must have set something differently then, for me the size of the albumart stays the same.
Only the spacing and the count changes.

Errr ... not, it isn't. I must've been in my alternative universe when I typed that.

Sorry for my confusion.

Default would have been a wiser choice of word on my part.
