I remember reading the sentence "MinimServer should now be running, and you should be able to see it in a UPnP control point" in the (otherwise very clear) installation instructions, and having no idea what a control point was ...

This is explained on the UPnP AV page.

Indeed. I know that, now. But I didn't have any idea at the time. This is not a criticism of the MinimServer documentation, which cannot cater for every contingency. It is a reflection of the fact that network music systems are moderately complex, and that newcomers can easily become bewildered. As a recent newcomer myself, I'd like to encourage other new users to feel that there is no such thing as a stupid question.
