If you are the only one using the computer then I would, as root, type
chmod -R 777 /music/My Music/
(To be root, type su - then press enter then enter root password)

you need
chmod -R 777 /music/My\ Music/

So you are in a terminal window, you type su - then press enter.
Now your terminal session is root, not your kde session.
You then need to use an editor like nano

I'm guessing that the NTFS patition that your files are on is read only.
That's what normally happens.
You can use a package to use native NT drivers so you get read write access.
If CS is reading, he can tell you what it is, or you can search the
archive of clug
