I'm trying to download albums and singles as MP3s using yt-dlp because I've set up RMP with a cool interface, but I'm struggling with the commands. I've done this before but forgot the correct syntax. Last time, my downloads included a thumbnail that was in a 16:9 ratio instead of the square format I expected. Any tips on how to do this correctly?

Just to add on, if you can't find a specific thumbnail option in the yt-dlp help, checking out those scripting methods can be really handy. They give you a lot of flexibility for adjustments!
If you're looking to make those thumbnails square, it might not be a direct command in yt-dlp, but have you thought about using ImageMagick? You could script a crop from 16:9 to square with `mogrify`.
You can use the command: `yt-dlp -x --audio-format mp3 --embed-thumbnail --convert-thumbnails jpg "URL"` to download your MP3s. This should help you get your audio files and thumbnails sorted out.
