It picks the first player it finds, if you want to be sure it always
picks the right one, if you have multiple servers running, it might be
a good idea to go into the settings page and specify exactly which one
you want.

There are two sorting options available in the LastFM api, by
popularity and by date added, currently I'm just using the default
which is "by popularity". I haven't tried how it would look like with
date added, I guess it will create more variation but possibly images
with a bit less quality.

Currently it picks the default list length which is 50 images and
removes any low resolution images from the list, the removal logic is
dependent on the size of the image on the tablet display, so it will be
different in horizontal and vertical mode and it will be different
depending on the resolution of the tablet. So different devices will
show different amount of images.
When I tested it myself I first included all images but I realized that
low resolution images doesn't look that good on a 1280x800 screen, so I
decided to skip images which have less than a quarter of the resolution
that will be used to show the image on the screen. So if the image will
be 1280x600 on the screen it means that it will only include images
which on LastFM have at least a resolution of either 320 pixels
horizontally or 150 pixels vertically.
Do you have any idea approximately how many images it showed for Sting
on your device ?
I've also thought about showing the images in random order, currently
they are showed in exactly the same order as returned from LastFM but
it's random which image it starts with when a new artist is shown.

Would it be enough to always show it immediately after track change or
would you also like it to be showed now and then during the track is
played ?
