permissions and mp3 files...
Should mp3's be executable? Because I just realized that my entire collection is executable, and I'm not sure if this is an accident or not...

Re: permissions and mp3 files...
No they shouldn't... but mine all are too. Did you move them from a fat32/ntfs drive?

No, I moved them from an ext2 drive. But I was running all kinds of scripts on them, so one of them may have messed with permissions somehow. Anyway, thanks.

Re: permissions and mp3 files...
Hey, I had the same thing happen too when I transfered mp3's from an ntfs to a fat32 drive. Is this a normal permission problem? Or have I been hacked and that means it's unsafe to try playing the mp3's?

Re: permissions and mp3 files...
Most of the time I've seen this is when moving things around on a flash drive. FAT is stupid and the permissions are part of the proof.
