    Raspberry Pi with OSMC and shairport-sync

It is assumed that OSMC is installed and running on the Raspberry, and the Airport service should be disabled (though it doesn't have to be, but who needs two Airplay services). OSMC is based on Debian 8 (Jessie).

If you get Error opening terminal when opening nano or alsamixer, update the current TERM:
export TERM=xterm

Enable backports:
sudo nano /etc/apt/sources.list
Add the following line:
deb http://ftp.debian.org/debian jessie-backports main

Then update the package lists:
sudo apt-get update

Install alsa-utils and shairport-sync:
sudo apt-get -t jessie-backports install alsa-utils
sudo apt-get -t jessie-backports install shairport-sync
Configure Shairport (under general set name = "OSMC" or whatever name you like):
sudo nano /etc/shairport-sync.conf
Enable Shairport auto-start:
sudo systemctl enable shairport-sync

sudo nano /etc/fstab 
Add the following line, but in /dev/sdx# replace x with your drive letter and # with the partition number (use fdisk -l to list them) and instead of my-drive you can use a custom name. Also if your drive's partition is not ext4 formatted, use its format accordingly.
/dev/sdx#       /mnt/my-drive  ext4  defaults,noatime   0  0
