Hi curahack,
Yes, this can be done without too much trouble. First create a user to use as the default user (probably without admin rights) using the user administration link. Copy the userID for that user (it's listed in the user admin list of users) and then In the lib/conf.php file, uncomment the 'autoLoginUser' and set it to your default user. Now when the site is pulled up that user is autologged in.
This was mostly a hack for a someone who had a similar request as you and it was never really fully architected and programmed, so there are a few drawbacks. The only way to admin the site (or even add music) is to comment the autoLoginUser back out and then log in as the admin. Also the playlists aren't locked down so anyone can add and modify the playlists for this default user. There may be other problems too, caveat emptor :)
Let me know if you have requests to make this work better.

Hello Abdi,
The ";" marks the line as a comment, so you need to delete that first. Try this:
autoLoginUser=8
