Screen title on browse screens should be smaller

In the remote skin, the title bar ("New Music", "Browse Album") takes up a lot of precious screen real estate, while the font used for the second line in each menu item (the artist's name, generally) is too small to read from >5 ft. I'd prefer to make the title bar half the size (since one presumably has a fair idea where in the hierarchy one is), and make the second line of text more readable.
The only place I see a second line is when viewing an album's track list, where the second line is used to display the album artist. I agree - the size of this line makes it completely unreadable from more than a couple of feet, but I disagree that it should be increased in size at the expense of the album title line above it. This would just make both of them unreadable. Either leave it as-is or drop it altogether and increase the size of the title line.
I'm asking for a change to the font size of the title bar at the top of the screen, not the first line of two-line menu items. Also, there are two-line menu items in the browse by album and new music screens.

Right... and like I said, the only place I see two lines in the title bar is at the browse level of album track lists. It looks like the second line was shoehorned in by moving the first line up as far as possible in the title bar. The text size of the first line is pretty much the same as that used on other screens. Decreasing it would be a mistake, IMO.
We are clearly not communicating here... I want to decrease the size of the entire title bar, so that I can increase the font size of the second line of each menu item. See the diagram below, where ALL CAPS is a big font and lower case is a small font Current UI: Proposed UI SCREEN TITLE screen title MENU ITEM 1 FIRST LINE MENU ITEM 1 FIRST LINE menu item 1 second line MENU ITEM 1 SECOND LINE MENU ITEM 1 FIRST LINE MENU ITEM 2 FIRST LINE menu item 1 second line MENU ITEM 2 SECOND LINE MENU ITEM 1 FIRST LINE MENU ITEM 3 FIRST LINE menu item 1 second line MENU ITEM 3 SECOND LINE
