When Auto-Tagging from Amazon, album art is downloaded, even though the options to download album art are de-selected (i.e. don't download).
To reproduce:
1) Click the [options] button, and select "Ask where to save image".
2) Find an Amazon record with album art and click [Auto-tag]
3) The "Add Album Art" dialog comes up. Deselect all options so that nothing gets downloaded (because the image is bad or incorrect perhaps).
RESULT: The "Downloading Album art" dialog pops up for a few seconds, and album art is downloaded.

A7 Bug: Amazon auto-tag incorrectly downloads album art
Pete, from Wellington, New Zealand.Currently evaluating a migration from MM4 (4.1.31.1919 on Win7 SP1/16Gig RAM/intel) to MM2024 (latest Debug version on Win11 24H2/16GB RAM/intel)
**If you're wondering why I'm still on MM4: It still has more useful-to-me plugins; and I prefer the GUI's responsiveness, panes spreadable over multi-monitors flexibility, and predictability (all coz it's more Windows-native). I also hate "flat design" for its visual inefficiency. For me, MM4's benefits are still > MM5, and MM5's downsides < MM4. There still appears to be way less MM5 plugins -- even after all this time. MM5 docs for plugin developers seem very undeveloped to me -- which makes me uninclined to invest into learning how to improve MM5 for my own wants.
OK, thanks Ludek - I was under the impression that [cancel] cancelled the auto-tagging of tracks too, not just the album art download.

similar problem.
i think it's the same with some of the other fields, too. i believe i remember unchecking "artist" or "album" to find that MM3 updated those tags regardless. i'm not 100% positive, but pretty sure (i can't check, cuz at work i'm sticking with MM2
