Samba/FTP Question

Here is the deal guys and gals, I want to be able to play my mp3's via
SAMBA on my LAN, BUT (here it comes) I do NOT want people that
anonymous FTP in to my box to SEE any files or download those files,
BUT (the biggie one) I do want the users that FTP in to their own
accounts to be able to FTP the mp3 files. Sounds like a lot of butt
here huh??? >[;^)

Lets see if I can say it like this:
1. On the LAN using Samba, YES to play mp3 files 
2. FTP from inet w/ account, YES dl mp3's
3. FTP from LAN, YES dl mp3's
4. FTP anonymous, NO see no mp3's

Hmmmmm, did I miss one! Naw, I think I hit all I wanted... So far I
have tried chmod 771 on the directory and they play in Samba, but
can't see em from any other account except root of course. I even
tried 7771 on the directory and POOOF gone...

HHHEEELLLPPP, PWEEEEEEEZE!!! I have been trying just about anything
just short of moving them to a different spot and placing a 755 on the
directory and files within. This may be my best bet as I can see it...
It just ruins the file structure layout doing that though... You know
something like a sounds directory should have files that pertain to it
as in wav, au, snd, MP3's...

Desparate! Thanks for the look over...
Frank
