Answer 1

If you want to play audio files from library, then you need to use KnownFolders. GetFileFromApplicationUriAsync won't work.

var storageFile = await KnownFolders.MusicLibrary.GetFileAsync("line.mp3");
var stream = await storageFile.OpenAsync(FileAccessMode.Read);
mediaElement.SetSource(stream, storageFile.ContentType);
mediaElement.Play();

If you want enumerate all the media file or all the folders then use this.

var AllStorageFiles = await KnownFolders.MusicLibrary.GetFilesAsync();
var AllStorageFolders = await KnownFolders.MusicLibrary.GetFoldersAsync();
