Alright, I give!

Matt:
Coming next build:
Changed: Added the option "Lookup cover art for files that have no cover art at playback time" so that you can disable cover art lookup if that bothers you.

+1

1. This is writing tags to my files. If it was only downloading to JRiver's local artwork cache, I'd have less of a problem with it.
2. Automatically found cover-art can often be wrong or low quality.
3. I want to manage what is added to my library manually.
4. I already hate that "Get Movie & TV Info" pollutes my keyword tags with junk data from TMDB/TVDB.
5. I don't want an application to do an automatic internet lookup for any file that is played on my system. This is a privacy issue. (albeit a minor one)
 
Leave this enabled by default, but it must be optional.


Edit: well it seems I'm seven minutes late on this, as it's being implemented in the next build. Thanks!

JimH:
It should not affect your audio files or change any tags.

I made a test by copying some files to a new folder and removing their cover art, then playing them in JRiver. It's writing new cover art to the file tags.
