Why do album covers appear on their own after a few seconds?

Post by pintree3 »

I think it's been about 6 months or so (MM pro 4.1.31.1919) that while on a file with no album cover, after a few seconds, a cover will appear. However, if you go to Properties/Artwork no cover is there. I assume MM is taking one from the web somewhere. I find this annoying since often it is wrong or of poor quality. How do I stop MM from doing this? I'd rather add my own cover.

Try Tools/ Options/ Library/ Metadata Lookup. It has an option to auto lookup artwork

@AlanH Aha! Bingo.Thanks a lot buddy. That was it. I noticed that the option to keep the artwork was also there but it never did so. Anyhow, it's unchecked now. :-)
(I wonder if you can help me with my other question_ posted a few minutes before this one)

Im glad that got it sorted for you. re your other question im just a humble user theres plenty on here with much more knowledge than me but i would be checking in Tools/ options/ library/ Tags and playlists and see what your have it set to save the artwork to, i prefer to just save to folder. Also are you tagging the complete album in one go
