Not free...but worth every penny IMO. I run mine on Windows, but it looks like you can run in on the Linux too.

Go download Foobar.

Here is an older but still relevant tutorial on setting it up as a UPNP sever to use with your phone.

Support for the Foobar UPNP component to help get you setup and troubleshoot if necessary:

foobar is a windows program and i am running linux (puppy) natively. foobar runs under WINE but it does not interface well (at all) outside of its comfy little wine womb.
