Incredibly frustrating
I transfered all my music from an old to a new mac a few weeks ago without any issues. I then realized I could not change or edit any info because I didn't have permission. so first I open the folder info, add my self, give myself read & write permission and apply to all enclosed items. doesn't work. It eventually got to the point were I would have had to do that tedious process to every single one of my albums if I wanted them to work and theres no way thats happening. I then repair permissions under disk utility and now I cant even play any of my music and in order to get permission to even hear a song i have to apply permissions to every single INDIVIDUAL song. I'm totally lost, I would so incredibly grateful for any help. I need my music.
