JimH:
It shouldn't do that.  We'll fix it.

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.

Is this at a global level?  I have the same concerns as mwillems.  I have about 4,000 live recordings (which are grouped into albums for convenience sake).  I'd be pretty upset if MC decided to try to figure out what "album" these were and downloaded 4,000 images that I then had to remove.  However, would be nice for a different view, one that isn't live recordings.

This whole feature is only for downloading covers to show in Playing Now, not to modify any files, and the option is global for all files.

jgreen:
I agree it is worrisome.  Having an option to ENABLE automatic seeking and download of additional items is a great feature.  Having an option to DISABLE it is a workable compromise.  But there must be a playback mode where the customer gets to do what he wants. 

RD James:
I'm fine with it being enabled by default so long as it's only saving to a local artwork cache and not writing artwork to file tags, with an option to disable the feature for those of us that don't want to use it.
If anything I think it should be enabled by default.
