As to the incorrect album art, there is little we can do. The requests for artwork are handled by 7digital. It does a pretty good job at figuring out the correct artwork but, every now and then, it gets it wrong. (Accurate ID3 tags for album and artist help here.)
As to suppressing the automatic artwork retrieval, design should get involved. A config option on the music app should do the trick. When set, the app could just substitute the fallback artwork. I don't think we should do this on the thumbnailer level because the thumbnailer is a shared service that is used by several apps and scopes. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Touch seeded packages, which is subscribed to thumbnailer in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1592108 Title: No option to disable album/artist/track art requests Status in Ubuntu Music App: New Status in Ubuntu UX: New Status in thumbnailer package in Ubuntu: New 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.
