UPnP support is in LMS but you have to start it with the option enabled.
I am afraid I don't use LMS that way but if you search around or ask a
direct connection someone will tell you.
Basically if you enable it your Squeezeboxen appear as uPnP players
(renderers) in things like Windows Media
I am incorrect. There is UPnP/DLNA server in LMS but not what you want.

I do already have LMS running on Win 8. Your suggestion about upnp
sounds interesting. Do you have more

LMS needs to be involved, so you need to install that on your laptop.
Normally one would have a wifi router acting as intermediary between the
laptop and the players (with the speakers built in to the Boom). In the
absence of that, you can set up the laptop so that it is in

Use LMS logitech media server . And there is a WAV-in plugin for sources
other than files that LMS has scanned .
And with the latest LMS 7.9 you can use to browse folder without scan
and play the files .
But forget about using for movies or video games , the buffering
involved means just to much
