Giving everyone read/write/execute permissions is unnecessarily risky.
Just imagine some bug in slimserver code that goes on to overwrite your
music library. Not likely to occur, but still a possibility, and so easy
to avoid....
My music files are owned by me and writable by me, and read-only for
everyone else. The easiest way to do this in unix/linux is by going to
the top level music directory and typing the following 2 commands. The
first allows anyone to traverse the music directory tree, and only the
owner can create/delete/modify that tree. The second gives r/w
permission to the owner and read-only to group and world.
find . -type d -exec chmod 755 {} \;
find . -type f -exec chmod 644 {} \;
