Music Playlist Artwork - too big

The bar is now inexcusably large, and for the size to which I keep the Music window in one corner of my display, I see only THREE SONGS under the bar where the artwork and "info" tab is located.

I install the 11.1 update last night, and go to sleep. Only now after a ridiculously grueling day do I sit down at the Mac, open the app, go to a playlist, and see this huge nonsense.

There is ABSOLUTELY NO EXCUSE for something like this. Is there really NO recourse to decreasing the size of the artwork, bar and area? Do I now have to expand the size of my window?

This is starting to get ridiculous, and I don't see an in-application way to send feedback on this and call it out for the huge negative that it is.

Does anyone know if this has been resolved? I still can't resize the cover art in my playlists and its just too nutty for me.

This just reeks of middle management. Here is a suggestion Apple: let some people who actually use the program manage how it can be used...

Agree. This is the best example of extremely bad software engineering. Lack of option to remove this huge nonsense artwork is just a bad joke. This needs to be fixed asap.

Precisely. Being able to adjust that is really all we need. I would rather NOT be looking at the album art preview, which is a huge part of the issue. Having a small size for putting in a description if desired would be fine.

It's not just the album art - the designer's obsession with giant swaths of whitespace also intrude. Move the buttons to the right, stacked, to minimize the header bar and use the space efficiently! A *usable* display would be 30% of what it is now imo.
