equation

I might have stumbled across a inadvertent fix (sort of). In Tools >>
Options >> Privacy Tab - I unchecked "update music files by retrieving
media info from the internet". I restarted WMP11 and the problem seemed to
stop. I then wanted to see if it would come back if I checked "update music
files by retrieving media info from the internet". So I checked the box,
restarted WMP11 and mysteriously no more images.metaservices.microsoft.com
pop up. I hope this works for everyone else!

Here is my new problem. When I right click on an album and select "Update
Album Info" I get no update. Typically in the past it would locate the album
art (for well known albums) as well as update any track info. AND I still
have "update music files" checked!!
