My Question or Issue

The album art on my android tablets are so tiny. I think it has something to do with the screen ratio. my iPad has nice and large album art with proportional playback slider because it's 4:3. If I did a split screen on my landscape 16:10 android tablet, and making the other app (I choose gallery displaying a solid black picture) as narrow as possible. It will effectively bring the spotify portion of the screen (close) to 4:3, and voila, the album art is similar to iPad OS. (Or I could change the orientation to potrait, but I'm using the tablet as car entertaiment head unit, so portrait is inconvinient)

This is frustrating, becauss the album art is comically tiny while the playback slider is unnecessarily long on my new android 12.1" (and 8.7") tablet and I'm currently forced to use my older and smaller iPad 7th. I think there should an option to make the app scale the interface like if it's in 4:3 screen ratio (you can still put the downward arrow and three dots, at the edges of the screen)
