Messed around yet some more.  I have  heap of music files so doing
them one by one isn't practical.  So I sudo nautilus, then opened
folder, selected all, right click to open 'permissions.'  Then changed
permissions.  That seemed to do the trick.

Will try it a bit and then report back.


thanks for your assistance
