Describe the feature/enhancement

At the moment, the iTunes cover provider gives just a thumbnail when used, when actually iTunes usually has the highest resolution/quality covers available.

Please add support for getting the highest resolution cover available, not just thumbnails.

From what I've seen on their GitHub page, Image Max URL (https://github.com/qsniyg/maxurl), which can be used to get the original/higher quality or resolution version of an image, can be integrated in apps too, not just used as an extension/user script, but maybe the method used could be implemented instead if you don't want to use Image Max URL.

iTunes cover links vary quite a bit, but there are the thumbnail links that audiobookshelf provides, the links for covers of the same resolution as the original, but re-saved as .jpg that Ben Dodson's site provides (https://bendodson.com/projects/itunes-artwork-finder/), and there's the link to the original cover that looks a bit different than the others.

Example:

ABS (thumbnail):
https://is1-ssl.mzstatic.com/image/thumb/Music116/v4/6c/c9/3f/6cc93fdc-c242-0352-7f84-b80f2760ab40/9781975370190.jpg/600x600bb.jpg

Ben Dodson (same resolution/slightly lower quality than the original due to being re-saved as .jpg):
https://is5-ssl.mzstatic.com/image/thumb/Music116/v4/6c/c9/3f/6cc93fdc-c242-0352-7f84-b80f2760ab40/9781975370190.jpg/100000x100000-999.jpg

Image Max URL (first redirect from the thumbnail link provided by ABS, maybe a thumbnail of the same resolution as the original?):
https://is1-ssl.mzstatic.com/image/thumb/Music116/v4/6c/c9/3f/6cc93fdc-c242-0352-7f84-b80f2760ab40/9781975370190.jpg/9999x9999.jpg

Image Max URL (original image):
https://a1.mzstatic.com/us/r1000/063/Music116/v4/6c/c9/3f/6cc93fdc-c242-0352-7f84-b80f2760ab40/9781975370190.jpg

Thanks!

So the goal was to return 600x600 covers? If the other providers return high-resolution artwork, can't this one too? iTunes most of the time has the highest resolution and quality.
