Question reguarding the thumbnail

Hi there,

When I play a song on VLC, it displays a thumbnails.

My question is, where does the thumbnails comes from? Does it get downloaded from the internet if there is no picture in the folder?

I'm asking this because I'm composing some music, and I found the same thumbnail on my songs:
Image

If it get's downloaded from the internet, how can he recognise the music? Metadata? Hash?

Well, I'm a bit lost and confused here..

In advance, thanks for your help.

Yes, from google image, and yes, metadata.
