The problem

Currently the app displays exceptionally blurry artwork with a 100x100px resolution. Images on the Soundcloud site look way cleaner. We should have bigger Images in Music Assistent as well.

eg. https://i1.sndcdn.com/artworks-000166304222-fjxebe-large.jpg (returned from the Soundcloud API, displayed in MA) https://i1.sndcdn.com/artworks-000166304222-fjxebe-t500x500.jpg (displayed on Soundcloud)

A quick look in the network requests on Soundcloud.com shows that the URL for the bigger image is not returned by the api but rather constructed with JS client code in the browser.

availableSizes: [[20, "t20x20"], [50, "t50x50"], [120, "t120x120"], [200, "t200x200"], [500, "t500x500"]],
availableVisualsSizes: [[1240, "t1240x260"], [2480, "t2480x520"]],
imageUrlRegex: /^.*\/(\w+)-([-a-zA-Z0-9]+)-([a-z0-9]+)\.(jpg|png|gif).*$/i,

The documentation for that call seems to have got lost a few years back, but a WaybackMachine capture of what it says is:

JPEG, PNG and GIF are accepted when uploading and will be encoded to multiple JPEGs in these formats:

t500x500: 500×500 crop: 400×400 t300x300: 300×300 large: 100×100 (default) t67x67: 67×67 (only on artworks) badge: 47×47 small: 32×32 tiny: 20×20 (on artworks) tiny: 18×18 (on avatars) mini: 16×16 The URL is pointing to the format large by default. If you want to use a different format you have to replace large with the specific format name in the image URL:

For example:

http://i1.sndcdn.com/avatars-000000011308-xq0whu-large.jpg?b17c165

to

http://i1.sndcdn.com/avatars-000000011308-xq0whu-crop.jpg?b17c165

I'll get a patch in for that after my current PR gets merged (don't want to have too many things on the go at the same time).
