I believe JRiver Media Center does this. This way Minimserver is just using information it already has either embedded in the music file or as folder.jpg in the album folder.

The UPnP protocol doesn't allow for displaying a layered collage. It would be possible to display a random album cover, but some people don't want this (see the discussion on this thread). Another problem is that this approach doesn't work for showing other images such as composer, conductor, etc.
