Rectangular covers are not forced into a square. On album pages, in lists and in the player's Card style, the whole cover is shown with a blurred copy of it filling the space around; very wide or tall covers are enlarged slightly, trimming a little from both ends, so they stay legible when small. With Artwork Style set to Edge to Edge on the iPhone player, the cover fills the whole artwork area: rectangular covers are centered and trimmed at both ends like square ones, not left as a small picture in the middle. To see the whole cover in the player, switch back to Card.
Open Settings › Player › Player Style & Buttons.
Under Artwork Style, choose Card to see the whole cover, or Edge to Edge to fill the artwork area.
