It may interest you to read the discussion addressing your question,
however the short answer is that the 1100x600 setting was optimal for

Did you try mounting the external device so that YDL sees it swit6hin
it's directory tree and then specifically direct Rhythmbox to the
directory where the music files are mounted to?
