I have a music player and want to get the album cover of songs to put in it. Is there a way I can do this? I know AssetService has the GetAudioMetadataAsync method but that doesn’t return the album cover or thumbnail.

If you go here they do have thumbnails, also i’ve seen other games do this.
Ohhh, I had no idea that existed! Tho, it seems like its in 
rn, so I doubt there are any ways to get the album covers yet.
As of right now there isn’t a way to get the the images through roblox. And I’m not sure if you can web scrape from roblox studio. The only thing I can think of doing is manually saving the images and upload them as decals.
So I know this is quite old, but I have an old script from my audio visualizer game that did get the audio thumbnails, and its as simple as "https://www.roblox.com/asset-thumbnail/image?assetId=".. v["Id"] .."&width=420&height=420&format=png"
Now to check whether a song even has an asset thumbnail, that I can’t answer, so a downside is this will have no image show for songs that dont have one.
I later found something interesting New ContentId format for easy thumbnail loading
so you can use "rbxthumb://type=Asset&w=420&h=420&id=" .. v["Id"]
instead, they state that this will also batch loads for images, to ensure images load fast, i dont know if there is much of a difference in performance. you can change the w=420&h=420 parameter to 150, if you want a faster load (as the image will be 150x150 in size), audio only has the 2 sizes, 150, or 420.
