Title:
  [SRU Required] Spotify album icon shows optimal CD disk instead of
  album/cover image

Status in cinnamon package in Ubuntu:
  New
Status in cinnamon-screensaver package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  The Spotify Album Icon in the Sound Applet should show the Album/Song
  cover of the Spotify song. Instead it shows the default CD icon.

  According to upstream, the Spotify link has changed. A fix for this
  (and in the cinnamon-screensaver) is available.

  An SRU for BOTH PACKAGES, cinnamon, and cinnamon-screensaver in Focal
  and Groovy is required. (4 projects, 2 packages, 2 versions)

  SRU Template:
  [Impact] 

   * When users are playing a Song via Spotify:
        * Cinnamon Package: In the sound applet, the Spotify album cover should show, but instead the plain 'CD'/Disk icon shows.
        * Cinnamon Screensaver Package: On the top left, the song information, including the album cover should show but the album cover doesn't appear.

  [Test Case]

   * Cinnamon Package: Play a song via Spotify and open the Sound applet to see the CD/Disk icon rather than the album.
   * Cinnamon Screensaver Package: Play a song via Spotify and lock the screen to see no album on the top left when you unlock when it asks for password input.

  [Regression Potential]

   * Regressions through other Spotify updates, or any link updates (the
  main cause of this bug) can cause possible regression.

   * Python is always known for breaking compatibility with plugins and
  such; while this is unlikely if it were to happen, it probably
  shouldn't happen before the support for Focal/Groovy expires.

   * Physically talking Regression Potential: Very low. This was applied
  upstream in Linux Mint recently. I will make sure this is fixed when
  it waits in -proposed before it moves officially.

  [Other Info]
   
   * This package requires a patch for BOTH Focal and Groovy.
   * Review the Focal patch first before we move onto the Groovy patch
   * Both will be tested.
