Answer 1

Well, you could parse each filename (eg using Integer.parseInt ).

Alternatively, if you knew you'd have less than (say) 100,000 files, you could format the filenames in a sortable fashion to start with - so instead of 141.mp3, you'd have 00141.mp3. That way you could just sort all the filenames and parse the last one.
