Hmm, tried this and it's a bit of a chicken-and-egg thing.  If I run
the chown and find command as anything other than root (though "sudo")
it won't allow me due to incorrect permissions.

But when I do these commands as root, they run fine but all the
permissions are changed to root only?  I am no longer permitted to
place files in the music directory, only root can do that.
