Hello - I have a touchscreen use case where the resolution for the touchscreen LCD is 800x600. This app is the best option I've seen so far over the years for a simple home touchscreen use case! There are just a few small tweaks that could be made to capture this potential use!

When minimizing the active window, note the smallest size currently obtainable is 815 x 480. This raises an issue with either the left or the right side of the window being cropped by 15 pixels- to have the cropping on right is worse as then there is no chance to grab the vertical slider. Can the minimum resolution be tweaked for 800 x 480?

Also - since this is a touchscreen use case, there's a couple of small tweaks that would allow perfect touchscreen accessibility at a 800 x 480 resolution. They are 1) Have all vertical sliders double width and always visible (not thin and auto-hiding), and 2) pull up a standard touchscreen keyboard (again, no wider than 800 pixels) when the search bar is clicked so the user can key in the song/album or artist they are looking for.

The blue bubbles under the 'Song Artist' for the starting letter search is perfect for touchscreen use. With these small changes to the UI - this would be excellent to bring Touchscreen users along for the ride! I'm thinking the minimum resolution change is universal, but the slider and touch keyboard could just be a setting in the settings menu for 'Touchscreen Accessibility' to toggle on/off.
