You can access the music files just like text files. You can do simple task such as copying, cutting etc like this.

To access music files properly, you need to follow the encoding technique of the file format.

If you google "PlaySound c++" you will get several threads that show you how to do that, such as this one. You will need to create another thread to play the music so that the main part of the program can continue to run normally
