so, i usually rip with EAC right to my system drive. but i had a big project to do, so this time i ripped directly to my ext drive where all the music ends up anyway.
plays fine in winamp, but i can't edit a damn thing. check the permissions, and lo and behold, my one acct, mrsinatra, under users doesn't have write access.
why is this? not only how do i fix it, but how do i keep it from happening?
to be clear, when i look at the files i made this "new" way, in file props, under the security tab, the group "system" and "administrator" have access, while "user" does not. this is somewhat confusing since the only profile is "mrsinatra" and is listed under both admin and users.
how do i put an end to this madness, meaning fix whats there, and keep it from happening going forward? thx.
edit: i should also add, i clone the whole library onto multiple ext drives on multiple systems with totally different users and/or OS's, and i want anyone to be able to write access these, not just read them, from the get go. i think all these types of permissions things should be "opt in" not opt out. pisses me off.
edit2: i am trying to make my changes propagate to all files and subfolders under the roots of where i made these rips. how???
