I have a few ideas of things for you to look at.

I'm not sure what the default value for security is in the [global]
section, but it should be set to:

security = user (as opposed to security = share)

A public share can then be defined like this:

[mp3]
comment = mp3
writable = yes
browseable = yes
guest ok = yes
path = /home/mp3
public = yes

Also, if you're just trying to access your home directory, you can have
a service defined like this:

[homes]
writable = yes

(man smb.conf actually has pretty good documentation for this stuff)
