sudo chmod 0777 <filename> makes the file available to everyone.
sudo chmod 0777 *                makes all files in current directory 
available to everyone

Keep an eye on your "before and after progress" by running:

sudo ls -Flai|more

This will show (on the left side of the screen) that the file permissions 
have changed

Oh, then either cd into each genre folder and run the chmod or you will need 
to run chmod with the folder's name.
