If you are the only one using the computer then I would, as root, type
chmod -R 777 /music/My Music/
(To be root, type su - then press enter then enter root password)
I think that may not work due to the space between My and Music, so
you need
chmod -R 777 /music/My\ Music/

So you are in a terminal window, you type su - then press enter.
Now your terminal session is root, not your kde session.
You then need to use an editor like nano

Yes I am sure.

Hi,
I've been trying to stay way the hell away from this one, there's more
inaccuracies in this thread than I could possibly deal with.
Me too.
You need to be careful, there's FUD in this. In the case of
switches, cable lengths are irrelevant until the switch to switch connection
gets to

Easy: 2 ports per room, extra for the computer room, one for the

16 port switches seem disproportionately expensive.
$70 instead of 2*$25

Why not just run 2 to each room close to the switch, and 1 to each room that
the cable lengths outweigh the cost of another switch?
I have a 55 metre length from my main switch to the sleepout where my son has
his branch of the network. He has his own switch out there. This is much
cheaper
