In a typical linux setup it isn't really single access to you. Most
important, SC runs under user 'squeezecenter' and you don't want that
user to have write access to your music library. A bug in SC and 777
permissions could let user squeezecenter make a mess of your music
library. I've never seen such a bug and you might think I'm paranoid to
consider the possibility, but it costs nothing to make the directories
755 and files 644, so that's what I do.

Of course, user 'squeezecenter' does need to have write access to your
playlist directory and files.
