So you'd look through that list and say "oh, there he is backing Ella & Louis" and click it to get the option of either playing the one track or jumping sideways at that point to select the whole album of which that track is one part.

MinimServer can't provide the ability to click a track in a list of tracks to show an option to view the whole album because the UPnP protocol doesn't support actions like this. A control point could provide this capability and it is available in BubbleUPnP.

The "partial album" views that you are seeing after this browse sequence do provide a selection to view the complete album in addition to the list of matching tracks. In this case, the selection is provided by MinimServer.

You could make an [n items] list appear by adding to indexTags a tag whose value would not be the same for all tracks in the selection. The Title tag would be suitable for this. You don't need to select anything from the Title index; just having a Title choice showing will cause [n albums] and [n items] lists to appear.

Another way to get a list of tracks is by using BubbleUPnP as your control point and doing a UPnP Search as shown in the images posted by Hanu. This might also work with some other control points.
