To stop it asking for passwords, you need to add "smb passwd file = /etc/samba/smbpasswd" to the Global section. Then at a commandline, add users to the Samba password file with "smbpasswd -a username".

It would be better to create a directory /home/songs to share all your music. /root is root's home, and normally isn't accessable by regular users. You also need to change browseable to yes, so that you can actually browse the share on the network.
