How to get album art from audio file from server by url (Glide)

Question

I need to get thubnail of audio file by url.

I found how I can do it for files in internal memory.

But how I can do it for remote audio files by URL? I have URL of file and I can get byte[] of file.

For remote images I do it this way:

content is byte[] from server.

bitmap = Glide
         .with(context)
         .asBitmap()
         .load(content)
         .submit(size.getWidth(), size.getHeight())
         .get();

I didn't find how to do it with the help of Glide. And I did it using this:

Bitmap bitmap = null;
MediaMetadataRetriever mediaMetadataRetriever = null;
byte[] data;

try {
    mediaMetadataRetriever = new MediaMetadataRetriever();
    mediaMetadataRetriever.setDataSource(url.toString(), new HashMap<String, String>());
    data = mediaMetadataRetriever.getEmbeddedPicture();
    if (data != null) {
            bitmap = BitmapFactory.decodeByteArray(data, 0, data.length);
        }
    } catch (Exception e) {
        Log.e(TAG, " ", e);
    } finally {
        if (mediaMetadataRetriever != null) {
            mediaMetadataRetriever.release();
        }
    }
    return bitmap;
}
