Is there anyway to make the albumart larger?

Just drag the window and the divider over, it will increase size automatically.

Hmm, mine doesn't seem to do that.

Mine kind of looks like this:

I have the library hidden so it is only the top bar. I can only stretch it left and right, and it just makes the black area bigger not the art.

I don't see anyway to do what you want. Where would the bigger art go? There's no vertical room to expand it. You have to make the cell where art's displayed bigger so it can be resized.

I don't know, I don't use Winamp. I can do that in Foobar2000. All fields are fully customizable. I /think/ Winamp can be customized, but it's been years since I used it, and I didn't work with it much. Once I found Foobar, I never looked elsewhere for players :^)

I do like foobar. I just don't feel like messing around and customizing it forever until I get it the way I want it.

I don't know if you've tried it anytime recently, but it's much easier to customize than it used to be. The real far out stuff still takes work, but for something straight forward, you can get something usable and good looking fairly quickly using default templates, and making some easy minor tweaks.

Here's what mine looks like. It's just a modified default template...

If you switch to the "Big Bento" skin instead of the default "Bento", it will be slightly larger. If that's not enough (and it's not much of a difference), AFAIK you will have to make your own, modified skin. Winamp's "SUI" skins do not allow you to easily change the size of any part of the interface (one of many reasons they suck).

If you alter the Bento skin to simply make that section taller, I expect the album art will expand to fit. But that will mean manually modifying the skin files, and probably making other parts of the interface look terrible. There are plugins on Winamp's site that will display album art using the "video" box, but they do not work well at all.

Quite honestly I attempted to do something similar and ended up just switching to Foobar2000. MediaMonkey also displays album art at a larger (and more easily changed) size.
