I realy love the added feature of getting artists and covers from Last.FM and other sites, but the thing that is bugging me is that if the image of an artist is not a 1:1 ratio the picture of the artist gets squashed which looks realy weird.

In stead of the image being scaled 1:1 can a best fit be done to avoid squashing the artist head ?

Do a search - this has already been discussed - the skin files of PlayingNow and RadioLastFm already have the properties for zooming, etc you just need to change them.

is this also true in browsing mode?

in Blue Two, if I sort my music by ID3 tag, (use the database) I first see A-Z and the next level is the artists name.

The images I see there are squashed if the image is not a 1:1 ratio equal

How do I make MP not squashs the images in this view ?
