turn off auto fetching album cover art
Song names/cover art are missing/wrong for some songs

Music player applications fetch cover art and other information about songs from the Internet.
If song names or cover art are missing, make sure that you are connected to the Internet.
Rhythmbox and most other music players should display the correct cover art when a song from the album is next played.
I dont need those cover art, are there any way to turn off that function in gnome mplayer? or at least make it ask me before it download anything.

[Edit] your original post and add [SOLVED] once your question is resolved.
