How to suppress "Album Art"

I have folders with a lifetime's music collection. Windows insists on downloading and recording two album cover images for all albums represented in each folder. They are named "AlbumArt" followed by 16 hexadecimal pairs and more. If deleted, Windows re-downloads the images. Any way to suppress this garbage?

Thanks Nick. No doubt there are people who appreciate these "features" but, for me, they are just more reasons to prefer Linux.
