  • Please edit your question and add more detail. What is your operating system? What is /media? Is it a local directory? Is it a mount point? Is it a network directory? Since only root has execute permissions, it is normal that audacity can't entrer the directory (entering it, cding into it, requires execute permission), but it is not normal that you cannot change the permissions, that will probably be down to exactly what /media is.

  • I suspect there are problems with the mount access permissions, since /media is usually a mountpoint for removable devices. Until you answer @terdon's questions, it remains only a guess. Commented Apr 17 at 11:26
