Can we get our posters in music libraries in native aspect ratio. When we use the music library for audiobooks, most posters are vertical rectangles and they get cut off from being forced center-square.

What are you referring to here?  
Posters in a movie library _are_ using a rectangular shape (2:3)

There are only square posters in a music library, because record sleeves and CD covers are square.

Before requesting a poster shape for audiobooks, you should request support for audio books in general:

> [@Support for audiobooks](https://forums.plex.tv/t/support-for-audiobooks/27518/1):
>
> remember the play position for audiobooks also. especially now as it is possible to sync them and take them with you. [Edit Mod] This post is also asking for an audio book specific library type separate from music library. While remembering position is part of a Music library, Audiobook could help with other features like chapter selection, books covers, publishers, etc, which is not possible in a Music library.

Yes I have. But figured since that request has been open for 7 years and seems unlikely to get any traction since no reply from dev team, I may as well request a smaller change which could Easily be implemented.

Early 2021 clean-up: duplicate

> I just switched from using iTunes to using Plex for my primary music library. It’s really great so far, but some of my album art is being cropped because it is cassette tape artwork (2:3) rather than vinyl/CD artwork (1:1-ish). By comparison, iTunes does not crop my weird album art. It would be great if Plex were more forgiving with album art dimensions. Let me know if you’d like any more information or examples.
