You cant scan folders using JavaScript and HTML. Even if you use server side scripts like PHP,ASP.NET you will just be able to scan web folders on your server. So unless you want an online mp3 player, the thing is sort of impossible using client side scripts, html.

If you want to scan the files on the server, you need a server-side script, not javascript.

You can't look at the files on the client's computer for security reasons.
