Bug Description
The Music App appears to download album/artist/track art automatically. Is there a way to disable this functionality to save bandwidth? The Music App does not appear to have any user settings at all (unless I am overlooking them).
The service used to fetch the art from is far from bug-free. For an album called 'Musik für festliche Stunden' I get an album cover for 'Strauss zum Saubermachen'. While that does seem like an interesting album (clean the house with Strauss?) it is not even remotely the correct album.

Hi Jeroen, thanks for taking the time to file this bug and for helping to make Ubuntu better. I've added the thumbnailer project and the Ubuntu Design team as affected.
Currently there is no way of disabling these requests via the GUI. There may be a workaround via the command line, but I'm not aware of one.
