Maybe my multimedia naivete is showing through but I can't find any *clients* for DLNA/UPnP media streaming.
I.e. I want to be able to use a laptop (or a desktop) to play music etc. stored on a media server using media server software rather than the file system.

Pretty sure Twonky does that. I have it on my HTC phone. Works fine.

Yes, but there's no Twonky *client* for Linux that I can see, it assumes you want to run Twonky Server on your linux box and Twonky clients on your phone, television or HiFi.

Won't VLC do what you want? I *think* there's a upnp plugin for that.

Yes VLC or XBMC (though that is a bit heavy if all you want is a upnp renderer) and I think there was talk of building the functionality into Gnome 3.

I'm trying vlc, it sees the server but that's all, it doesn't seem to see any available music on the server. However the server (Logitech's Media Server) is still quite 'young' as regards being a upnp server so it may be that the problem is that end.
