Describe the Bug

It's possible to add MP3 files to Apple Music through the AM for macOS app. Doing so will also make them show up on iPhone and Cider. Unfortunately, Cider doesn't really seem to handle these files particularly well. (E.g. buttons like 'Go to Artist' are there, but don't do anything)

The biggest issue I have however is the fact that the shown artwork is the artwork of the song that was last played that DID have artwork.

The cover art shown here is a song I've previously listened to that did have cover art, I think a fix would be showing like a '?' icon (like how it shows on actual AM).

Steps to Reproduce

1. Add an MP3 file to your Apple Music library through the regular AM client
2. Play it through Cider
3. Take a peek at the broken cover art :)

Anything else?
