How do I fix this


I have a directory that I keep my MP3's in that is located in my home directory. But, when I run Audiogalaxy I get errors when trying to open them. I ran a ls -l and saw what the problem was, but I am unsure how to fix it.

Here is what the permissions look like.

File rwx,---,---/--- shibby root

My problem is root. How do I change this to shibby. I have three MP3's that read " shibby shibby" in that field and audiogalaxy can read those.

I ran the chown shibby * for the MP3 directory but that did not fix it. What gives.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks,

I think he need to run following command offcourse as root

#chgrp shibby [filename]

As no need to run chown because shibby is already the owner of the file.
