Ah. Actually no... Well, say I forgot about non-retina devices, sorry,
will fix that in the next update.
I originally developed this for iPeng UE and forgot to also flag the
sizing change in iPeng for Phone (iPeng UE, technically, really is an
iPeng for iPad running on an iPhone whereas iPeng for iPhone still uses
somewhat different code). Most of the testing was on UE and I just
enabled it in iPeng for iPhone, too, when it was ready.

Sizing in this case is a bit complicated :)

The view is ported from iPeng for iPad where I simply use covers in
twice the size than on iPhone. That would be 150x150 on non-retina
displays and 300x300 on retina displays.
The tiles in iPeng for iPhone are smaller, though (I'm talking of the
default size here, of course you can scale them as you please), only
120x120. Now my choices would have been to use either _that_ (and they
would scale badly for the smaller, 75x75 list-view images), make the
list-view images smaller (would spoil the 3-line layout and also be a
step backwards if that's what you use) or always use the larger images
(would mean I load 300x300's on iPhone 4, 4S and 5).
What I decided was an intermediate step: always use 150x150 on iPhone.
That means they would scale down fine for the lists and somewhat
acceptable for both the 120x120 and the 240x240 tiles. It would not be
perfect but going straight to 300x300 on an iPhone would really consume
a _lot_ of memory.

I also want to stick with my "150x150" and "300x300" steps for
performance reasons. All artwork gets cached not only by iPeng but also
by the server and MySqueezebox.com, so using few, common form factors
will help performance if you've got more than one device (or always, in
the case of MySB).
