Permissions issue: Lots of '?"...

Hello. I keep my mp3 files in a separate directory to make it easier to copy them the our USB car drive as needed. The directory I store them is is quaintly named mp3/ This directory is located at /otherstuff/othermp3/mp3/. I did this because there are a LOT of directories and I ran out of space on my /home partition pretty quickly. I had to move it into root space. Root space occupies most of the 1TB drive.

-????????? ? ? ? ? ? 01 - While My Guitar Gently Weeps.mp3Can anybody tell me why? I have soft links to all these files in /home/michael/mp3. They all LOOK legitimate, but they all return error code 22. I looked up error code 22 tonight, and it means invalid command. It's obvious to me that some package has gone wrong, but which one? If necessary I can send you any other information you need from me in order to solve this. Thank you in advance for any assistance you can offer in resolution of this issue.
