How do I fix the iTunes permission problem - album folder is read-only?

Question

Hi,
When I imported music files from Windows iTunes library, I set iTunes to copy the files to its own library folder and had "keep music folder organized" checked. So it creates a folder for each album by the album name. But recently since last time I ran the "repair permission" from DIsk Utility, every time I change album name, I lose the access to the folder. The permission is set to read-and-write for "system" instead of "me". So I can no longer edit the song (tag). But the rests of the folders and main iTunes library are just fine (with read-and-write permission to "me"). My account is admin.
I figured out a workaround for the problem. I can copy the folder to a location I own (such as desktop), then bring it back to iTunes to replace the folder. But I certainly don't want to do that every time I change album names. How do I fix the problem? Running permission repair does not help.
My mac experience started on the day Leopard was released, so please help.
Thank you.

You should be able to select the folder, Get Info (command-I, the command key is the one with the Apple and the funny squiggly thing next to the space bar). At the very bottom of the Get Info box is Sharing and Permissions. You may have to click on the triangle to open up that section. You should be able to change permissions from there if you have admin access. You may also need to click on the little padlock in the lower right and put in your password before you can make changes. If you want to apply the changes you made to folders inside the folder, click on the little button with the gear on it and select Apply to enclosed items.
Best of luck.
