Right now album covers are resized inside a portrait-mode rectangle with a fixed aspect ratio (0.67 ?).
At max cover size ("500"px, notice the quotes), an album cover in landscape-mode will be shrunk to much less than 500px.
On modern screens it starts to get small.
3 ways to solve this :
simple way 1 : increase the max size
simple way 2 : allow for custom aspect ratio
less simple way : adaptive aspect ratio
I think the most elegant is option 3 but any other is fine.
