Is there a way to increase the font size in the playback area whilst keeping the same smaller font size for the rest of the program?

No I don't think it's possible. AFAICT, the ratatui library spotify_player uses for rendering doesn't support changing the terminal's font size.

Maybe you can raise this to ratatui team instead to see if they can add such feature.

The terminal font-size is what it is. That's not something a terminal library can control as they render characters to cells, not pixel. I wrote a tui-big-text crate for using 8x8, 4x4 etc. cells to write to the display to get around this a little, but that might be too big for this.
