Research direction

Start by reproducing the GET /me/activities request shown in the issue and compare artwork_url for shared Albums and Playlists with the artwork shown in the SoundCloud frontend. Trace the API response for that endpoint; done means those items return the corresponding artwork URL instead of an empty value.
