A control point typically requests 50 or 100 albums at a time, then renders the pictures for all these albums. All this happens before the user selects an album for playing. So MinimServer could be compressing 50 or 100 images for a single browsing action (not just one image when playing a track).

When the user selects an album for playing, most control points show a large image on the Now Playing screen. Poor quality compression of this image would be unacceptable to the user.

When the user sends an image to the control point, it doesn't know whether it will only be used for a thumbnail while browsing or also used as a large mage while playing the album. A compression scheme suitable for the former would not be suitable for the latter.

Thanks for explain that, why could not be optional to use thumbnail as the artwork that is used by the streamer if its already created?

To be honest i think that would be good, if it looks good on the phone it would look good on the streamer as the screen is really small.

Which controlpoint are you using?

I am not sure what you people mean whit control point, is it the middle between the streamer and the server?

Then it would be "HiFi-Cast" is an android application

And the streamer is as i already told an "Cambridge Audio 851n"

Yes thats correct, in this case HiFi-cast on your phone or tablet is the app that "controls" your system.
Do you use both phone and tablet?
