Listen Rhapsody can act as a Upnp servier. I want to use WMP on another
networked computer to listen to library tracks. In order to do this, I need
to set WMP 10 up as a Upnp client.

Any help greatly appreciated!

WMP10 does not support this natively. I seem to remember hearing about a
plug-in, but I don't have any of the details.

If you download the Intel upnp tools you can use the AV Media Controller to
browse the content which gives you the URI's, if you open the URI's it opens
up in media player.

It's not entirely seamless though, it will be cool if WMP get's it's own
uPNP client plugin for the library.
