It's the list of genres.  It's static, defined in the ID3 "standard".

I would need one with 3 times the vertical resolution, which would be
3072 pixels.

>(although this is the sort of thing that a Python programmer would do).

Truly, this is the best suggestion yet - reduce the list to genres I
actually use (probably closer to 20).  Still, this doesn't help future
users of my program, were I ever to complete and release it.  I could
make the list configurable...


P.S. Sorry for breaking threading - I lost a few messages in a mail
server hiccough.
