Now Playing Widget either just uses the application icon as song art, uses the art from the previous song, or gets the art right (most times this is not the case) #630

Describe the bug
A clear description of what the bug is.
So when using the now playing widget, I either just get the icon of the app music is playing from (Brave Browser), the boxart from the previous song, or the current boxart (though I usually only get that if I pause and unpause the song) though sometimes it might even get the boxart from a different version of the song
How to reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:

Open Brave Browser
Go to open.spotify.com
Install the Web App (Specifically, untested with the non web app)
Play a song

Expected behavior
A clear description of what you expected to happen.
It would have the correct box art since I think it's better if it pulls it from the macOS now playing widget

I have this issue too, i'm trying to fix it currently but it seems a little tricky especially since mac os doesn't have any frameworks to fetch the now playing artwork, not sure if there are any private frameworks i can use though. Although it can be easily fixed using spotify's web api but it requires a spotify login. I'll probably have a fix by the end of the june with additional features such as live lyrics(when you press and hold), adjusting Spotify's volume and switching playback devices.
