Only if they have permission to do so.

You could create another user on the machine, who has all your mp3s in
their /home directory with read only permissions. Then your normal
everyday login can read those files without fear of altering them.

If the mp3 player program does try to write to file, you should be able
to make the attempt turn up in the system logs, so you can be sure that
the program is the problem.

It does sound more like a corrupted file system to me though, as others
have already pointed out.


By a corrupted file system do you mean the specific mp3 file affected
remains undamaged?
