      Description of issue:
      When I set Picard to download cover images to embed in tags, it works fine at every resolution except 1200 - which is unfortunately my desired resolution.

      Settings are found in Options -> Cover Art -> Cover Art Archive: "Only use images of the following size":
      Options are (in pixel widths): 250, 500 (*default), 1200, or Full Size.

      When I have the setting on '1200', the downloaded images are always 500.
      I looked through the Picard debug logs and I think I found the issue - the Archive.org JSON service is not returning the 1200px jpeg's as an option (even though it has them).

      How to repeat:
      1) Check Picard cover art setting is set at 1200.
      2) Load a set of files for a release into Picard. Ensure it has a Front cover scan on MusicBrainz exceeding 1200x1200 pixel. For example the release I have just been testing is this one by Isis:
      https://musicbrainz.org/release/0ba88c6e-cc27-4d6b-bf98-638464ec069e/cover-art
      [has 1200px art, and full size is 1500px × 1500px]
      3) Scan the files to match the files to the correct release with AcoustID/etc & allow Picard to download the release metadata and cover image.
      4) Check the downloaded cover art in Picard by selecting the album with left-click, then in bottom right where the album art is usually displayed in Picard, select 'Show more details' button. It should show the art downloaded is 500 pixels wide.

      NB: The 1200 link exists at the same URL (with '-1200' appended) and loads fine, it's just not offered in the list of available covers by Archive.org's JSON webservice:
      'https://coverartarchive.org/release/0ba88c6e-cc27-4d6b-bf98-638464ec069e/9123370524-1200.jpg'

      Thanks for your time reading that, and your help. Cheers
