Yes, it should have worked, but I suspect my post wasn't as complete as it might have been. My preferred setup is to set the user and group for my music files to my own account, e.g., user=mark and group=mark. I still do all my ripping and tagging in Windows, and then copy over to the Linux box via samba. With this setup I have full r/w access to my library using my ordinary username, which is the same on the Windows box and the Linux box. On the Linux side, slimserver (or for that matter, anyone) can read everything in the music tree, but not write to it.
Which is all a long way of saying that if you don't want to run the chmod commands as root, you need to change the ownership first. And you're likely to need sudo to change the ownership (e.g., `sudo chown -R mark:mark musiclib/'). And don't forget to make sure that the top-level directory also has the correct permissions. Sometimes I forget that.
