That might be a good idea, I will check how it looks.

In the meantime, I added two more screenshots:

I'm planning to reduce resolution of pictures, but I want to finish
GUI first. There were suggestion that it's better to do one-column
design to avoid artist name duplication. Current version of that
design doesn't look good, but it will be improved - I'll increase font
size to avoid big gaps and I'll experiment with fonts a bit.
