I'm making an mp3 player and I was wondering how I could read the filenames of the mp3s from my music folder into an array. Would I just open the folder like it's a file or is it more complicated than that? Any help would be greatly appreciated. P.S. I know that this doesn't sound like an opengl related problem, but I'm using opengl for the interface and for the background (synched to the music).

Extract the Functions you need from here:

You''ll most likely want to look at AddDir()

Thanks man, I''ll check it out.

Try these Win32 apis:

struct _finddata_t file;

std::string filespec = "C:\\MyMusic\\*.mp3";

long ffHandle = _findfirst( filespec.c_str(), &file );

if ( -1 != ffHandle )
{
AddToArray( file.name );

while( 0 == _findnext( ffHandle, &file ) )
{
AddToArray( file.name );
}
}

_findclose( ffHandle );
