I have an external hdd mounted as my ~/music. The line in fstab looks like this:
UUID=blahblahblah /home/blah/music vfat rw,auto,user,exec 0 0
It is mounting on boot and I can read off of it just fine, but I can't write anything, which is odd because I put rw as an option. Did I do the fstab entry correctly, or is it something else?
TIA

Can you write to it as root? If so, permissions are bad somewhere along the line.

maybe umask?

Set uid and gid for mount point.
UUID=blahblahblah /home/blah/music vfat rw,auto,user,exec,uid=<your-username's-id>,gid=<users-group's-id>, 0 0
You can see your uid and gid from /etc/passwd. There may be command that tells id of specific user and group.
username:x:1000:100:.....
1000 = uid
100 = gid
//EDIT: Command "id" tells ids of your username, primary group and other groups.
