Windows Media Player 11 is NOT a UPnP media client or control point; it is ONLY a UPnP Media Server. This means it can make its own music library available to other control points, but it cannot read a music library published by another Media Server (such as Whitebear). And it can play music to itself, but it cannot "Play To" UPnP Media Renderers (such as Whitebear). In other words, WMP11 is more-or-less useless in the UPnP Media world... Windows Media Player 12 is by contrast a full featured UPnP Media Server, UPnP Media Control Point and UPnP Media Renderer, but unfortunately it is NOT available on Windows XP. I suppose MS hope to "motivate" you to upgrade your O/S... iTunes simply does not support open standards; this is Apple's policy. People often complain about Microsoft, but really Apple is far far worse... XBox 360 ought to work with Whitebear; but it is notorious for being ultra- picky about the UPnP servers it will talk to. Unfortunately I don't have an XBox for testing, so I have not been able to tweak Whitebear sufficiently to get it working. => However, if you are willing to be my guinea pig for testing it, then we could together try out a few tweaks on Whitebear until we get it working. Please let me know if you are interested. -- AndrewFG Regards, AndrewFG Try out Whitebear. The middleware that joins the two worlds of: 1. UPnP/DLNA media clients and media players, and, 2.
