I see you've got lots of answers on how to rip and get the cd info out
of the online databases. For the mp3 server part you might want to look
at slimserver. http://www.slimdevices.com/pi_features.html

It's designed for the slim devices hardware players (which are
excellent) but the server itself is open source and works with any
streaming software player as well. Works great on Linux.
