Working with files that in-depth is going to be platform specific. What OS are you using?
Assuming windows - people have tried to do similar things many times before - so searching the forum would be sure to give you some good results (though you may want to consider not search for specifically mp3 - but search for getting a directory listing, than process that listing.
you are correct in assuming this is windows xp. thank you with the help of search terms that's the point in the right direction that i needed.
