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 album = cursor.getString(_cursor.getColumnIndexOrThrow(MediaStore.Audio.Media.ALBUM));
final String track = cursor.getString(_cursor.getColumnIndexOrThrow(MediaStore.Audio.Media.TITLE));
