Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/casualsnek/onthespot/issues/177

When downloading songs from Soundcloud via entering the playlist link in OnTheSpot, none of the downloaded mp3 files contain album covers. This is with the "embed cover" option in Audio Metadata settings checked on.

Steps to reproduce the behavior:

Go to Search and enter Soundcloud playlist URL
Click on the Search icon
As the Downloads tab populates, every song is correctly downloaded.
When we navigate to the files in explorer, the mp3 files do not have album covers.

The expected behavior is that the mp3 files contain album covers.

Current behavior:

Ideal behavior (from ytdlp):

OnTheSpot v1.1.2
Windows 11 25H2
