Adding file names(Help!!)

[Gambit17]

Hi,

I am busy writing a programm that stores songs(the names, artists, albums-"metadata") into arrays.

At the moment i just ask the user for input, but i would like to ask the user from which file he would like to get the data and then for instance he chooses my music folder, java will extract the metadata from the song files in the my music folder and store it in an array.

At the moment my array are so: String[] strArr = new String[100][4];
with the 4 being equal to artist, track, album, date added,.
could i import the song names and store them in in that array.

is all of this possible?
thnks for your help.

yes.... you have to add another column to your array for the song names

[Gambit17]

why, the song names is stored in the column[4].?
for example
song names will be stored in strArr[0]
song artists will be stored in strArr[1]
song album will be stored in strArr[2]
song dateAdded will be stored in strArr[3]
yip.

ok so that will be it, what do you mean about your question "could i import the song names and store them in in that array" ?

What he means is that he wants to create a program that will import song names from the metadata stored within the songs (that iTunes/WMP creates).

He then wants to store the metadata in a nested array:
String[][] songs = new String[amountSongs][4]
