I am running a UPnP setup using MinimServer and BubbleUPnP app. I have also used WMP when I first tried UPnP and also use Spark (am still on DOS1).
Some clarifications:
While WMP is free, I found it clumsy to use. Casting to the Phantom is not intuitive and sometimes, casting fails. Having a large playlist is a nightmare. Too many tracks in the queue and it would hang. Managing playlists is not easy. I also had problems finding a phone App to control WMS. I tried hard to make WMS work (because I liked FREE!) but it had far too many compromises.
I ended up using Minimserver to get music from my NAS and found that BubbleUPnP App on my phone worked for me.
Some clarifications:
- Spark does not use UPnP (and you can use it without needing to enable UPnP)
- BubbleUPnp can play directly to the Phantom (and I assume you have a single one)
- Assume your music is either on your phone or PC
