check how you are taking those images. -case its Networking, use SDWebImage, take a look here: https://github.com/rs/SDWebImage

-case those images are saved in a core data (example) make a search in your data, if exists, pick that data and convert it to an image

UIImage * image = [UIImage imagewithData:dataImage];

remember you need to have a database image online or offline. Then just make a search, case exists, put the image, case not, default image.

The code that you need can be found in Apple's Example as referenced in the question that overbombing referenced. They make it easy for you:

MPMediaItem *currentItem = [musicPlayer nowPlayingItem];

// Assume that there is no artwork for the media item.
UIImage *artworkImage = noArtworkImage;

// Get the artwork from the current media item, if it has artwork.
MPMediaItemArtwork *artwork = [currentItem valueForProperty: MPMediaItemPropertyArtwork];

// Obtain a UIImage object from the MPMediaItemArtwork object
if (artwork) {
    artworkImage = [artwork imageWithSize: CGSizeMake (30, 30)];
}

I would advise reading through Apple's Example anyway it seems you are doing pretty much exactly what they did.
