The reason no one has given you an easy recipe is that the *best* way
to do this depends a lot on how you have your server set up and what
other security issues you have/need/want.

To get started, one option is to just make your music world readable
with something like this:

chmod -R +r /path/to/music/directory

(This assumes that the parent directories are already world-readable.)

Eventually, you will also want to make sure the slimserver user has
write access to your playlist directory.

If you're going to run your own linux server, it would be a good idea
to learn a bit more about how file and directory permissions work.  A
good place to start might be http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Permissions
along with the man pages for chown, chmod and chgrp.

Good luck.
