1 Install OS

Install Ubuntu with only ssh and samba (select somewhere at the end).

2 abcde

install:

sudo apt-get install abcde

Add or edit /etc/abcde.conf

PADTRACKS=y
INTERACTIVE=n
METAFLACOPTS=""
ACTIONS=cddb,read,encode,tag,move,clean
CDROM=/dev/cdrom
OUTPUTDIR=/music
WAVOUTPUTDIR=/music/tmp
OUTPUTTYPE=flac
OUTPUTFORMAT='${ARTISTFILE}/${ALBUMFILE}/${TRACKNUM}-${TRACKFILE}'
VAOUTPUTFORMAT='Various Artists/${ALBUMFILE}/${ALBUMFILE}-${TRACKNUM}-${ARTISTFILE}-${TRACKFILE}'
EJECTCD=y

3 halevt

install:

sudo apt-get install halevt

Add or edit /etc/halevt/halevt.xml

<halevt:Device match="hal.volume.disc.has_audio = true">
 <halevt:Insertion exec="/usr/bin/cd_autorip.sh"/>
</halevt:Device>

<halevt:Device match="hal.volume.disc.has_audio = false">
 <halevt:Insertion exec="/usr/bin/cd_eject.sh"/>
</halevt:Device>

Create script files that will be called when cd event occurs:
/usr/bin/cd_autorip.sh:

#/bin/bash

PATH=/usr/lib64/ccache:/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/sbin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin
/usr/bin/abcde -NV 2>&1 | tee /home/all/log/abcde-auto.log

exit

/usr/bin/cd_eject.sh:

#/bin/bash
#add 3 secs to allow cdrom the init
sleep 3
/usr/bin/eject
exit

4 mpd

install:

sudo apt-get install mpd

Edit lines in /etc/mpd.conf:

music_directory        "/home/all/music"
user                "root"

5 Ajenti

This step is optional but makes managing users and shares a bless.

install:

wget http://repo.ajenti.org/debian/key -O- | apt-key add -
echo "deb http://repo.ajenti.org/ng/debian main main ubuntu" >> /etc/apt/sources.list
apt-get update && apt-get install ajenti
service ajenti restart

The panel will be available on HTTPS port 8000. The default username is root, and the password is admin

This is optional if other sound system is used.

sudo apt-get install alsa-base alsa-tools
