foobar can also be run successfully under wine in linux, but I try to avoid using wine when I can. You need the foo_upnp plugin to act as renderer and/or controller. It has a couple of issues as a controller, but is quite serviceable.
See http://www.lesbonscomptes.com/upplay/ for upplay.

foobar can be used as a UPnP control point controlling an external renderer device.
Yup I thought it could because under the View menu there is a UPnP Controller option and there is also a UPnP controller option in the Playback menu. But I cannot see any content from NAIM UnitiLite or my WD Live Hub. Any advice would be appreciated. You say it can be used but not how.

Ha! Just got it sort of wellcome. If you drag and drop stuff from the UPnP browser window into he UPnP controller window it seems to play single tracks.
I will carry on fiddling.

I have mpd running on a raspberry but unfortunately it just does not see this. Ah well never mind.

mpd isn't a UPnP renderer.

mpd can effectively be a renderer. I have just done this on several systems and it works well.
In foobar2000, you can import a 'theme' which makes the controller easier to use. See

I had come across the lesboncomptes article earlier and thought that it looked promising. I am actually running Volumio which is a 'packaging' I believe of mpd. It supports UPnP servers but does not access their album database, it builds its own database, so I have just been using it to play music from folders on a drive on my NAS. Not ideal, but it works and it is only a secondary system in our dining room. It uses a Blackberry Pi B+, with a Turtle Beach Micro II USB DAC into an Exposure 8s poweramp driving an old set of JPW speakers. It surprisingly sounds pretty good.
But now I can have a look at implementing mpd from scratch and will use that article as a base.

Hi!
I also have a problem with the Group Tag. It simply doesn't show. What do I have to do? I use Audirvana Plus to tag my files and there it's called "Grouping".
Thanks!
