A very, very small point.  The '.' is deprecated in favor of the ':'
and so this is preferably:

    chown -R pierre:music /music/mp3

The ':' is not a valid user or group name character and therefore will
work even if the name has a dot in it.  The original code used a '.'
but that was a poor choice which has been corrected.
