Hi, you might think that you are running a Ubuntu samba server, but you 
are not, you are running a workgroup.
This means that every user must have an account on every computer, they 
do not have to have the same gid, just the same username & password.

There are also possible problems with the smb.conf on both machines, at 
the end of the ubuntu one are these lines:

follow symlinks = yes
wide links = yes
unix extensions = no

These appear to be part of [Music] , only problem is that 'unix 
extensions = no' should be part of [global].

The smb.conf on the raspberry pi needs to be basically the same as the 
ubuntu one but without the shares.
