Discogs requests

Hello.  There's been a couple changes in behavior with Discogs in a 
recent version of Tellico.  #1 I can pinpoint to 4.0 via the changlog, 
but I'm not sure about #2.

1. You introduced a change to split discs into different tracklists, as 
reported in bug 479503.  This is a neat feature, and something I 
struggled with as I began cataloging, but at this point I have over 1300 
albums cataloged the "old" way, with all tracks in a single list (I use 
a comment field to note which tracks belong to which discs).  Converting 
all of my old albums to the new format is infeasible at this point, and 
I'd really prefer not to change the format for newer albums, resulting 
in the extra disc tracklists that are present but empty on all of my 
other albums (including all of my old multi-disc albums).

This is definitely a useful feature and one I would've used if I was 
just starting, but would it be possible to add an option to choose 
whether you /want/ to split your albums into separate track lists or 
continue using the old single-list format?  That way anyone getting 
started can leverage the new capability, and users with large existing 
collections can continue maintaining them without a significant change.

2. Only a 150x150 thumbnail is now returned with the album.  Prior to 
this a small but usable image, I want to say either 600x600 or 500x500.  
I would guess this is a change to the defaults on the discogs side, but 
is there any way to retrieve the somewhat larger image?  The thumbnails 
are almost useless on a 4k display. Understand if that's a new discogs 
limitation, but wanted to ask.

Thanks for your consideration.
