That's what Samba does, allows you to browse the contents. If you keep moving the drive between windows and linux, you are going to have problems. Mount the drive on the pi, and leave it there. File mask for data files is 0664. I'm sure your drive has the permissions of the Windows machine. You will need to set the permissions on the drive. Open an ssh session to the pi, and run chmod -R tc.staff /mnt/<path you mounted your drive> piCorePlayer a small player for the Raspberry Pi in RAM.
