Just the thing I'm looking for (if I find it, I let you know)

Now that Erlend has fixed his MediaMonkeyRemoteServer to play nicely with a portable MM installation, sending the music to something other than my PC's speakers is next up on the list for me. I used to use an Airport Express with iTunes so if anyone can recommend a similar DLNA equivalent that would be great (I'm not looking for a player, just a way to get the stream to a player I already have - preferably selectable, multiple players actually). After reading the whole thread and the attached links, I'm really looking forward to trying this! :)

http://www.bubblesoftapps.com/bubbleupnpserver/ works for me

The app on my android phone (as remote) and the server on my windows server.
Using this I can send a MM or foobar stream directly to my stereo. My phone only serves as a remote so it does not have to be connected all the time.

BHome - UPnP Media Player on HP Touch Pad does just that. You set up any UPnP or DLNA server and select a render device to push the music to.
Downside is that it only plays one track at a time :( Other then that it quite a ideal solution because it doesn't matter where the server is (localy).
You can have multiple servers going and it always seems to find them.
