Keep aspect ratio of cover

[Serrano Pereira]

The aspect ratio of the cover image is not preserved. Not all covers are square, so those that aren't get stretched and thus look very ugly.

Does exist covers that are not squares?

Jaja, I think we'll leave it for future versions. When non square covers become a little more popular ;)

[Serrano Pereira (serrano-pereira)]

Well.. they actually do exist (see attachment for proof). It probably also depends on the kind of music you listen to. They seem to be more popular in Asia for example. Quite some of the Asian music I listen to have non square covers.

Anyway, I understand that this is probably not an important feature for now. I'm looking forward for it to be implemented though.. I'll just have to ignore the silly looking non-square covers for now.

If this gets added could it be as an option? My theme, for example, would look completely off if the covers were kept at the default ratio. Possibly an option that can be added in the XML file so the themer can decide about the look?

Of course it will be optional.
