In looking at the music folder on my server, it doesn't appear that I
have anything special to allow squeezeboxserver access to my files
besides glabal read access to "Others" (i.e. I am the owner and group on
the folders and files).  It looks like you have read access for the
Music folder enabled for "Others" (the last three characters show r-x
for this folder).

Not that you would want to keep it this way, but for troubleshooting you
could change the ownership of the directory and files to
squeezeboxserver and see if that fixes things.

sudo chown -R squeezeboxserver /media/mediadisk/Music

You can google the chown command for more details or type man chown in
the terminal for the manual.  The -R means that it will recursively
change the owner on all folders/files under the Music folder as well to
squeezeboxserver.

If it fixes your problem you could go back to the original ownership by
changing squeezeboxserver to saltedlolly in the command.  Then you could
try changing just the group to squeezeboxserver using the chgrp command
and see if that works.  Alternatively the chown command can change both
by separating with a colon as shown below.

sudo chown -R saltedlolly:squeezeboxserver /media/mediadisk/Music

There's probably ways to effect the same changes through Nautilus but I
am not too familiar with this.  Possibly right click on the folder to
bring up permissions?
