To cd into a directory, you must heve execute permission for
that directory. I.E. change:
> drw-rw-rw- 6 root audio 4.0k Mar 6 20:58 l/
> drw-rw-rw- 2 root audio 16k Mar 6 20:34 lost+found/
> drw-rw-rw- 3 root audio 4.0k Mar 6 20:58 miscmp3/
to:
> drwxrwxrwx 6 root audio 4.0k Mar 6 20:58 l/
> drw-rw-rw- 2 root audio 16k Mar 6 20:34 lost+found/

Though if you want to enforce the read-only settings that you
mentioned above, change it to:
> drwxr-xr-x 6 root audio 4.0k Mar 6 20:58 l/
> drw-rw-rw- 2 root audio 16k Mar 6 20:34 lost+found/
> drwxr-xr-x 3 root audio 4.0k Mar 6 20:58 miscmp3/
This way only root can write into those directories, while everyone
else can browse them but not write to them.
