### Provide a description that is worded well enough to be understood

Hi,

I am not entirely sure if it is a bug, but I’ve noticed that some SoundCloud cover arts ([sample song](https://soundcloud.com/shinpuru/miracle)) are downloaded in 100x100 dimensions, even though the original artwork is available in higher resolution.

To download the file, I use this command and obtain the following log:

```bash
❯ yt-dlp --add-metadata --parse-metadata "%(artists)l:%(meta_artist)s" --embed-thumbnail -o "%(artists)l - %(title)s.%(ext)s" https://soundcloud.com/shinpuru/miracle

[Metadata] Adding metadata to "shinpuru - Miracle.m4a"
[EmbedThumbnail] mutagen: Adding thumbnail to "shinpuru - Miracle.m4a"
```

The downloaded `shinpuru - Miracle.m4a` file has 100x100 cover art dimensions, while the [original art](https://i1.sndcdn.com/artworks-hh0yahMrXxlmwJKO-72s1hA-original.png) seems to be 500x500.

This is not an issue for some other songs, such as [this one](https://soundcloud.com/capturelight/one-second-per-second) being downloaded in the `.opus` format with 1999x1999 cover art.

### Provide verbose output that clearly demonstrates the problem

- [X] Run **your** yt-dlp command with **-vU** flag added (`yt-dlp -vU <your command line>`)
- [ ] If using API, add `'verbose': True` to `YoutubeDL` params instead
- [X] Copy the WHOLE output (starting with `[debug] Command-line config`) and insert it below
