Once you get to the mplayer installation part of the alienBBC installation for mac instructions, download the file that you are pointed to. It is a compressed file, if you double click it it should uncompress (stufitt expander works if it doesn't uncompress on your mac). In the decompressed

There's a very simple way to view hidden files, and you don't need to worry about Terminal (or Googling for instructions). Go to Folder in the Go menu of the Finder allows one to type in any name, so just type /usr and you get to that folder and all its subfolders. There's no actual need for

You need to have MusicIP started before Slimserver so that slimserver sees the musicIP service. There are tips on the forum for how to set this up so that both are services. If you run MusicIP manually, then you will need to restart slimserver after starting MusicIP. You can confirm that
