How to Resize Album/Artist Size, in iTunes Library?

Hi there,

On my new laptop, just installed iTunes, though I've noticed the album artwork/artist page is way too big, and is taking up way to much space (see screenshot, how only 1 album is visible without scrolling).

On my PC, all the album artworks are much smaller, so I can fit many more albums/artists on the page, but I can't find the setting to change this in iTunes?

See the screenshots, to see what I'm trying to do.

Thanks in advance.

**PS - can't get screenshots to upload, but in essence: in my library, under the "All Artists" tab, only 1.5 albums show on the screen, before I have to scroll down the page to see more.

How can I change this, so that I can instead make the album art smaller, so that I can have 3, 4, 5 albums, etc... per page?**

Windows 10

Thanks for the response.

Unfortunately, it doesn't seem that clear cut, though it is a 1080p 15.6" monitor.

1) 1536 x 864 -> According to online websites (what is my screen resolution, etc)

2) 1920 x 1080 -> In Windows' Settings, and what I have it set to

Not sure why there's 2 different resolutions being displayed?

Though they both work out as 16:9 Aspect Ratio

Perhaps there is a screen scaling option in force to make text larger. The artists layout in iTunes does involve quite large album artwork and a lot of whitespace. At best I get two albums on screen at the same time. I rarely use it and prefer either Songs or Albums.

I just noticed scaling was set to 125%, though I changed it back to 100% just now, which made a slight difference, though it still wouldn't allow me to view even 2 full albums on the screen.

On my PC, the album art size is much smaller, and I can fit 5, 6+ albums on 1 page.

Have a look at the link below, you can see there is a slider which says "Artwork Size" that allows you to change how big the artwork shows in iTunes.

Problem is, the guide is for an older version of iTunes, and I can't see the option anywhere?

Currently it is only the Songs layout that has an artwork size option. This is perhaps one of those situations where the controls for a feature have been removed but the underlying feature is still there and what you get depends on your last setting before the control was removed, or whatever the defaults are on a fresh install.
