This distresses me greatly. Many otherwise great UI's and devices needlessly waste screen space and display tiny album art. Why? who wants a small image in the center, surrounded by vast, boring block colour. But even worse is Apple who seem to have taken a decisive step backwards. "let's take a great display choice and break it!" Apple execs must have discussed excitedly, probably after several beers.

Why? Because some misguided designer thought it looked cool (after all, if you are a UX designer, it's your job to suggest sommething different, saying "the app looks and works great as it is, let's not change anything" doesn't quite cut it), and nobody else involved cared enough to challenge this decision?
