      Hello, I just used this script to get BGM and the music folder showed up in roms. For whatever reason it says I don't have permission to put files into that folder. I'm confused because I have permission to use every other rom folder. I'm using winSCP. Thanks https://github.com/Rydra/bgm-for-es

        You might have accidentally created the music folder with root permissions and the pi user does not have access to it. Try changing the owner of the folder with

        sudo chown pi:pi $HOME/RetroPie/roms/music
        

        and re-try.
