MediaScanner finds music for you, populating the MediaStore database. Here's some code to look up a music entry:
final Uri uri = MediaStore.Audio.Media.EXTERNAL_CONTENT_URI;
final String[] cursor_cols = {
MediaStore.Audio.Media._ID,
MediaStore.Audio.Media.ARTIST,
MediaStore.Audio.Media.ALBUM,
MediaStore.Audio.Media.TITLE,
};
final String where = MediaStore.Audio.Media.IS_MUSIC + "=1";
final Cursor cursor = getContentResolver().query(uri, cursor_cols, where, null, null);
cursor.moveToNext();
final String artist = cursor.getString(_cursor.getColumnIndexOrThrow(MediaStore.Audio.Media.ARTIST));
final String album = cursor.getString(_cursor.getColumnIndexOrThrow(MediaStore.Audio.Media.ALBUM));
final String track = cursor.getString(_cursor.getColumnIndexOrThrow(MediaStore.Audio.Media.TITLE));
doSomethingHere(artist, album, track);
