are you are trying 2 copy songs to ntfs drive from Ubuntu?
you can only read files from ntfs by default

you have to install ntfs-3g

sudo apt-get install ntfs-3g

Everytime you perform any changes in your sys like installing packages or changing settings you have 2 give sudo command before the commands which you want 2 give.It gives you root previliges. It may solve u r Permission denied case.

Unable to mount NTFS Partitions

Your solution is here.
I had the same problem with debian.
and since ubuntu is derived from debian the solution is the same.

sudo apt-get install ntfs-3g
sudo apt-get install ntfs-config

ntfs-config gives you a small gui app which has two fields.

1) Mount internal ntfs partitions
2) Mount external ntfs partitions.

Thus, you can mount wour ntfs partitions just by 2 clicks .
