I'm not sure if my Synology transcodes, I will check the settings
tonight, but all the MP3s play fine when serverd by the Synology.

Hmmm, I know it might probably go against DLNA spec, but (for
testing/debugging purposes only...) could you provide an option in
Whitebear to force no transcoding and therefore to send the file as-is?
Even if my WD box is asking for LPCM, I guess it should still play MP3
if it receives it?  This would prove what's happening I guess.

I'll send you a link later tonight.

LOL!

I don't have any Squeezebox hardware (this is why I'm so interested in
the UPnP capability!), but I can browse the menus via the Squeeze web
interface and the Artist menu is correctly populated.  In fact, it's
correctly populated in all the Control Points I've tried (which have
been able to discover the server...) it was only Cidero that didn't do
it.  Perhaps it just timed out or something.  I can try it again.

As you said too, the ability of control points to receive track
position data and implement other controls seems to be very variable.
