Syntax should be
chown owner:group directory
Looks like you just need to change the '.' to a ':'.

An easy way to do permsions is
+ is add
- is take away
= is stay the same
u is owner
s is group
o is others
a is all
r is read
w is write
x is execute
You want some one else to be able to read and execute your music so do..
