Answer 1

To open your app when double clicking on a mp3: use the registry or "Right click mp3, open with, and select your application"

To play the MP3 in your app: You will get the filepath as the first parameter of your 'main' function.

class Program
{
    static void Main(string[] args)
    {
       if (args != null)
       {
         String filePath = args[0];
         SomeForm frm = new SomeForm(filePath );
       }
    }
}
