Hopefully without making anyone feel diminished, (rest assured i only do this because at some point i wished i would have got some instruction broken down to me. <3) 1. here Ralf is using "touch" to create an empty file called "foo" 2. "ls" is the command for listing directories, -hAl is the option to have a long listing format of *almost* all details in human readable form about owners, permission, size, creation date etc... 3. this is the result of ls -hAl: -rw-r--r-- is the permission, 1st rocketmouse is the user 2nd rocketmouse is the group 4. chmod as you know, to change permissions on foo 5. lets see the result of that chmod command 6. result 7. lets try another permission setting 8. how's it looking? 9. result of the new chmod setting chown, as kindly suggested by Ralf, is the command to change the owner user and the owner group. sudo chown user:group /path/to/folder/or/file.foo to change recursively with -R as suggested sudo chown -R user:group /path/to/folder/ Let us know what result you get :) There are some mp3 players out there, like older ipods (maybe the new ones too, i don't have any), that will not let you access the part of the disk where the mp3's are stored without a special program, but still work as an external storing device for any type of file upon mounting the disk with usb. I don't know about this Denver device, but i would contact them too if i was you :) Hope you figure things out!! Good luck! -- Set Hallström
