Add album art aspect ratio to compliance
99.9999% of album art is square as it is from a CD or vinyl cover, which is also square. Some album art online, while valid, is not square. Some are slightly rectangular, having the top and/or bottom slightly trimmed. This is annoying.
If the cover art system could be told (optionally) to exclude any images that aren't 1:1 aspect ratio (within a certain percentage, say two or three pixels either way), so that all the images you get presented with (and it auto detects while fixing) are square it would overcome the problem.
The cover art selector could have a button "search for non-square art" or something so you can easily do an extended search for those more elusive covers.

If you see non-covers being downloaded, please let me know... this is a bug (although it is probably down to bad data).

I think you should actually be able to set the option for squareness (i.e. up to 1.1 or whatever)

This is also an issue when it downloads non-cover artwork (like the back of CDs are odd shaped, but sometimes the highest resolution, or often there will be a picture of an entire box set instead of just the cover)

LOL, you have OCD indeed...

A pixel is a pixel - Quote (within a certain percentage, say two or three pixels either way),
The option should be [Square images only] - if imagesize(h/w)<>1 then non compliant.This will help sufferers of Audiophile-OCD ;-)

Very nice idea...
