There is a partially finished plugin for this.

If you unzip it to your Squeezecenter/server/plugins you'll have a jive
folder where you put the properly sized .png, and an xml file that you
need to edit to get the name to show up. E.g.:
<wallpaper>
<name>Test 1</name> 
<file>test1.png</file> 
</wallpaper>

<wallpaper>
<name>My Image</name> 
<file>filename.png</file> 
</wallpaper>

This is from the information rollovers in the settings pages at
Settings>Advanced>Formatting. I don't keep all the artwork in a single
folder, so can't help too much, but it may be an option for you.

ARTWORK
"Images of album artwork, when available, are displayed when viewing an
album or song information. Artwork images are found in the ID3 tags for
individual songs or can reside in the same folder as song files. By
default, images named "cover.jpg", "albumartsmall.jpg", "folder.jpg",
"album.jpg", or "thumb.jpg" are used. You can specify an additional
file name to use for album art images. You can specify different file
names for thumbnail or full size images. Prefix the option with % and
you can follow it with any string made up of the same elements
available for Title Formats (eq %ARTIST - ALBUM, will look for Artist -
Album.jpg to fit the artist and album information found."

ARTWORK FOLDER
"You may choose to store all your artwork in a single folder, using the
variable filenames option above. Enter the location of the Artwork files
here. Regardless of this location, SqueezeCenter will still look for
artwork in the same path as each audio file if no matching artwork is
found in the Artwork Folder."
