Album covers for songs without albums are not displayed in the MPRIS notification

Description

Covers are embedded in the ID3 tags. Rhythmbox itself displays these fine, but the shell shows a stock image.

Quoting Florian from gnome-shell#81 (comment 77326) :

“The MPRIS specification for the mpris:artUrl metadata documents it as

The location of an image representing the track or album

If Rhythmbox fails to set it for album-less tracks, then it's a Rhythmbox bug. Working around that by poking at the ID3 tags of the file pointed to by xesam:url ourselves sounds like a bad idea ...”
