Do I understand correctly that the thumbnailer uses a remote service
(7digital?) by default?

>From a user's perspective I would expect to be able to reach this
setting from the Music App, but if the use of this remote service is
something that is done by the thumbnailer, I am not sure if adding it as
an option to only the Music App is correct. If I understand correctly;
from an engineering perspective the thumbnailer's job is to get the art,
the Music App uses the art, but does not care how the thumbnailer got
it.

Perhaps this should be a system-wide setting under 'Security & Privacy'
instead? I must admit that I am not wholly comfortable with the idea of
a daemon (thumbnailer) contacting commercial third party resources
without being able to turn it off.

** Summary changed:

- No option to disable album/artist/track art requests
