Open Question: Windows Media Player can't find album art?

I believe I have tried WMP 10 and 11 but for some reason on my new computer, it can't always locate by internet, the picture and name of the album being played. When I rip, I often have to force a search, but when I'm just casually listening to a album, like the Beatles Capitol mini album ( just to name one), there is no function available to force a search. Why is this?
