Summary0019651: Grid views: Metadata overlay obscures too much artwork for some users (regression)
DescriptionSome users have indicated that the metadata that overlays Artwork on grid views is too overbearing. In all cases but the Albums grid it's not a major issue since only 2 lines are taken and the metadata is different than what appears in the Artwork. But for the Albums grid:
- It's 3 lines of metadata so it partially obscurs 1/3 of the cover
- The metadata often repeats what can already be seen on the cover

Possible changes would be to:
1) Change the default view slightly:
a)Use slightly smaller text
b) Combine the x-track(s) indicator with the Album Name e.g.
AlbumName . . . (x)
ArtistName

2) Give users the option of configuring this. e.g.
Views
Album grid: show metadata as overlay | show metadata between images | don't show metadata

The second approach is probably more useful, but it's kind of a hack (i.e. why is this view configurable but no others are)
TagsNo tags attached.
Fixed in build
