Jambox Setup Instructions

Directions largely taken from RaspyFi RC2's "How It's Made"

Basic Setup

1. Download Ubuntu 13.10 Minimal CD
2. Create bootable USB
3. Install OS... *. Software Selection: Install only 'OpenSSH Server'
4. Install base packages: sudo apt-get install vim htop
5. Install general dependencies for building packages: sudo apt-get install autoconf automake g++ gcc make
6. Disable suspend on closing laptop lid
7. Setup wifi: sudo apt-get install wicd-curses (optional?)

Notes: Way more free space! Now only using 890mb, when lubuntu was using something close to 2.4gb.

DAC

1. Figure out which card corresponds to your USB DAC: cat /proc/asound/cards
2. Create ~/.asoundrc file with:

pcm.!default {
        type hw
        card 1
        device 0
}

Airplay

Shairplay vs ShairPort

MPD

1. Install mpd & mpc:

anthony@jambox:~$ sudo apt-get install mpd mpc

1. Install dependencies for building MPD packages: sudo apt-get install libfaad2 libfaad-dev libflac8 libflac-dev libogg0 libogg-dev libvorbis0a libvorbis-dev libid3tag0 libid3tag0-dev libmad0 libmad0-dev libcue-dev libcue1 libasound2 libasound-dev libasound2-dev libao-dev libwavpack-dev libwavpack1 libsamplerate0 libsamplerate-dev libmikmod2-dev libmikmod2 libmikmod-dev libshout-dev libavformat-dev libavcodec-dev libavutil-dev libaudiofile-dev libcurl4-openssl-dev libmms-dev libmms0 libtwolame-dev libtwolame0 libmp3lame-dev
2. Clone, configure and build mpd:

cd ~/
sudo su
git clone git://git.musicpd.org/master/mpd.git
cd ./mpd
./autogen.sh
./configure --disable-bzip2 --disable-iso9660 --disable-zzip --enable-id3 --disable-sqlite --enable-ffmpeg --enable-alsa --disable-wave-encoder --enable-pipe-output --enable-httpd-output --disable-recorder-output --disable-sndfile --enable-oss --enable-shout --disable-pulse --disable-ao --disable-mad --disable-inotify --disable-ipv6 --enable-curl --disable-mms --disable-wavpack --disable-lame-encoder --disable-twolame-encoder --enable-vorbis --enable-lsr --with-zeroconf=auto
make
make install
sudo su
/etc/init.d/mpd stop
echo DAEMON=/usr/local/bin/mpd >>/etc/default/mpd
/etc/init.d/mpd start
mkdir -p ~/.mpd/playlists # Is this correct? Where should this playlist live?

1. Edit /etc/mpd.conf:
   • #group "nogroup" -> group "audio"
   • bind_to_address "localhost" -> bind_to_address "any"
   • #auto_update "yes" -> `auto_update "yes"'

audio_output {
type "alsa"
name "My ALSA Device"
device "hw:0,0" # optional
format "44100:16:2" # optional
mixer_device "default" # optional
mixer_control "PCM" # optional
mixer_index "0" # optional

becomes
