No album art please

jgrogers · 23rd October 2008, 03:44

I think that Winamp is retrieving album art for me and storing it in the folders with my songs. I would rather it did not do that. Is there any way to make it stop?

The main reason I want it to stop is that I think it is also sending the album art to my Sansa Fuze and I don't want it there.
Thanks for any advice,

winamp doesnt automatically retrieve album art. Its probably windows media player. Thats a program that does it automatically. Go into the options of windows media player and turn off the setting to retrieve art.

Winamp does not retrieve album art automatically. Only if you specifically tell it to. So if something is downloading album art on it's own, it isn't Winamp.
