When I play items that I have copied from my CDs to Windows Media Player (Ver 8), I often get a message that reads:

Updating Media Library
Updating track information in Media Library and My Music. This may take several minutes

I believe that it then tries to access windowsmedia.com (207.46.xxx.xxx), but as I have this blocked in my firewall, it never gets there; anyway, I prefer to tell MS what to do, not do what it feels like doing.

Is there any way of disabling this annoying message? Looking under Tools/Options there seems no way of disabling "Check fo udates", assuming that this is the problem, anyway I've got it set to only once a month.
