Although you can use the GUI, I find it easier to do (and _much_ easier
to explain) via the command line. For this example, assume your music
library is located in the folder /media/music. Open a terminal session
and type the following:
find /media/music -type d -exec chmod 755 {} \;
find /media/music -type f -exec chmod 644 {} \;
The first command sets all the folders to be readable and 'executable'
by all users, and writeable only by the file owner. For folders
'executable' means the user can descend into that part of the directory
tree. The second command sets all the files in those folders to be
readable by everyone and writeable only by the owner of the file.
In my view it is good practice to have the files and directories owned
by your user name. If they are currently owned by another username, you
may need to preface those commands with 'sudo' to get superuser control.
You would also use sudo to change the ownership to your username (via
the chown command).
