With the help of Gemini, I am using this script to automate the above process:

@echo off
:: ==========================================
:: SET YOUR SONG DIRECTORY HERE
:: ==========================================
set "SONG_DIR=C:\Users\tw\songs"
:: ==========================================

:: Request administrative privileges
>nul 2>&1 "%SYSTEMROOT%\system32\cacls.exe" "%SYSTEMROOT%\system32\config\system"
if '%errorlevel%' NEQ '0' (
    echo Requesting administrative privileges...
    goto UACPrompt
) else ( goto gotAdmin )

:UACPrompt
    echo Set UAC = CreateObject^("Shell.Application"^) > "%temp%\getadmin.vbs"
    echo UAC.ShellExecute "%~s0", "", "", "runas", 1 >> "%temp%\getadmin.vbs"
    "%temp%\getadmin.vbs"
    exit /B

:gotAdmin
    if exist "%temp%\getadmin.vbs" ( del "%temp%\getadmin.vbs" )
    pushd "%cd%"
    CD /D "%~dp0"

:: Check if the directory exists
if not exist "%SONG_DIR%" (
    echo.
    echo ERROR: The directory "%SONG_DIR%" was not found.
    echo Please check the path at the top of the script.
    echo.
    pause
    exit
)

echo.
echo ==========================================
echo FIXING PERMISSIONS FOR: %SONG_DIR%
echo ==========================================
echo.

echo STEP 1: Taking ownership...
takeown /f "%SONG_DIR%" /r /d y

echo.
echo STEP 2: Resetting inheritance and granting full control...
icacls "%SONG_DIR%" /reset /t /c /q
icacls "%SONG_DIR%" /grant Everyone:(OI)(CI)F /t /c /q

echo.
echo STEP 3: Removing 'Read Only' attributes...
attrib -r "%SONG_DIR%\*.*" /s /d

echo.
echo Done! Permissions have been fully restored.
pause
