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.

Title:
  No option to disable album/artist/track art requests

Status in Ubuntu UX:

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.
