By default, storage devices that are plugged into the system mount automatically in the /media/<username> directory.

Open terminal ...

USER=$(whoami)

sudo find /media/"$USER" -type f -name '*.m4a' -exec chown "$USER":"$USER" '{}' \;

Should resolve any ownership issues.

I hope that helps.

Did you accidentally flip the little switch on the side of the SD card that puts it in write protect mode?

Okay I need some help here. My desktop system is Mint 17.3. The owner
name of said system is dad.
I bought an 8 gig micro card and named the owner dad. I put music on
this card in m4a format.
THEN, I bought an mp3 player that ONLY plays mp3's. This player won't
recognize my m4a files.
I installed a program called sound converter to convert the offensive
files. The micro card will NOT let me add or delete files to it.
Therefore I can't convert the offensive files.
How do I get the Micro card I own to accept converted music that I own
to it?
Checking the ownership of each, says dad own both. What am I missing here?
