No access to files on windows partition - SOLVED. [How to play mp3 files with ubuntu. - SOLVED]

Asked by Chris

I have no access to files on mounted windows partition.
After mounting partition, group and owner changes to root and after that I have no access.

=============
 I am trying to make a transition to ubuntu 6.06lts from wondows xp. I have over 5000 mp3 files I would still like to play. What patch do I need in order to play them. I would also like advise on formating them to whatever it is that linux uses.
Yes I am a newbie, so please be patient.

You must specify umask and/or uid and/or gid. For example,
$ sudo mount -t auto -o umask=0,nls=utf8 /dev/hda1 /mnt/disk_c

$ sudo mount -t auto -o umask,nls=utf8 /dev/hda5 /mnt/disk_d
