Withdrawn: No more blurry album covers!

I think a better option for users that find themselves in a similar situation might be a setting to bypass thumbnails (or at least large thumbs) and instead use the original image instead of generated thumbnails.

I first began developing software in the 1970s and spent my career in engineering, so I have a reasonably good understanding of how display resolution works and that software can't increase the physical number of pixels on the screen.

Since the cover art is tack-sharp when displaying the album art next to the track list, but less so when displaying the smaller thumbnails, the problem is almost certainly the thumbnail resolution of 400px being interpolated into more pixels for display on the my monitor.  Given that there are already 8K monitors, and undoubtedly higher resolutions on the way, it seems sensible to include some resolutions, and quality settings (maybe a PNG option) that are more than I, or you, need today.
