Just an idea.. if you took onwership of the actual mp3 file, try doing it to the folder it's in and see if that helps.

+1, failing that you can take ownership of 'My Documents' and see if that also helps

Is this in Windows 7? My Documents is not real. It's a junction point. Go to the real folder.

The 'real' folder sits next to the junction point ten.

Taking ownership of files and folders does not give access to files and folders. It allows the owner to change permissions even if they don't have access rights to the files/folders. Check this post for giving the Authenticated User access to files and folders.

Huh? What do you mean by next to. Isn't My Docs is just a mirror of things in Users?

The whole Junction point, (Symbolic Link in Nix) system, is a workaround to allow software written for one OS to work with the folder structure changes in windows 7.
If you look at them as an advanced shortcut you can see that operations that apply to real folders will not apply to the junction points.

A full explanation of the concept as applied in Windows is available here ....

Seems like a pretty dangerous tool in the hands of people who don't understand the ramifications.

I would not advise noobs to use this.
