[KLUG Members] getting samba share completely anonymous

I have a usb drive with a bunch of mp3s I share at work and I am trying
to get up samba to share them to everyone without requiring any sort of
login.
I have set up the samba server as a share auth type and I can mount the
drive just fine as root and users on the system.
I am running into the problem that I can see the share, but get access
denied when attempting to connect to it via a Windows XP machine. I am
wondering if the fact that all of the files are owned by root have
something to do with it.
My smb.conf share:
[music]
path=/mnt/music
browseable=yes
public=yes
read only=yes
guest ok = yes
fstab entry (it's an ntfs drive):
/dev/sda1 /mnt/music auto ro,users,noauto 0 0
Can anyone point me to a howto or have any ideas of what I need to
check? When I mount it, even if I mount it as another user all of the
files and such are owned by root and I can't change the permissions
since the drive is mounted ro.
Thanks
Rick
