might want to try some windows/linux directory searching stuff for files with extension of *.mp3 in specific folders
see a thread I contributed to here quite a while back :

I did it (taken from botman's bot code) to look for .mdl files and altered it a bit. You'd be looking for .mp3 files.

This isn't a Half Life specific question, but perhaps some of you may have done something similar to what I am trying to acheive in HL2. I am using FMOD in an attempt to implement a VGUI based ingame mp3 player, what I want to do is load files from a specific folder, say media/mp3, however I dont want to have to force the user to create a play list or give the names of their files specifically. What I would like to do is just pull all, or even just the first say 25 .mp3 files in that folder and pop them into a linked list that has just the acctual name of the folder in it.
I guess the short question is, in the HL2 SDK what would be the best way to get a file's name by only looking at it's extension?
Cheers
