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.
Did you accidentally flip the little switch on the side of the SD
card that puts it in write protect mode?
That was my first thought, but that's apparently not the problem.

Some distros do this. Mint is probably one of them.[0] Most removable-media SD cards have a FAT32 filesystem on them, and FAT doesn't actually have Unix-style permissions. These are faked at mount time according to the automounter's configuration, and generally the user who's logged in should be able to read and write the files on the mounted medium.
So: Unplug the device, then plug it in again and immediately do "dmesg | tail -n 40". This'll tell you what the kernel thinks is going on with the SD card. It might think the filesystem is damaged and so it's mounting it read-only, or something.
[0] I don't think automounters are a good idea for various reasons.
