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

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
