  * join user squeezeboxserver to group of music files

  adduser squeezeboxserver <musicgroup> # or
  usermod -a -G <musicgroup> <user>

  * modify access rights for squeezeboxserver user (do this on the server where the music files physically reside)

  chown -R <user>:<musicgroup> /music # or
  chgrp -R <musicgroup> /music # faster

==== Remarks ====

  - If you want to access the music directory and contents from different machines or VMs, choose //users (gid=100)// as <musicgroup>, then add user //squeezeboxserver// to users. This is also the group you can access the music directories from [[dsm43:dsminst|Media Server Installation - Synology DSM 4.3 (Oberon)]]
  - New music files from a Windows client will be written to the server with 755 directory and 644 file permissions
  - To make the music directory accessible for the client, either leave the 644 file permissions or change group to <musicgroup> and change 750 directory and 640 file permissions
  - You can use the following commands to do this throughout the music tree:

  find /path/to/music/dir -type d -exec chmod 750 {} + # directories
  find /path/to/music/dir -type f -exec chmod 644 {} + # files
