Slimserver doesn't need to write to files (excepting playlists). So
what I do:
chown -R me ~/music
find ~/music -type d -exec chmod 755 {} \;
find ~/music -type f -exec chmod 644 {} \;
The playlist directory is:
chmod 1777 ~/playlists
That lets anyone write there, but only the owner can modify/delete what
they own. (Like /tmp.)
