To make play behaviour eexplici on a button click , refer this:

Xaml :

<MediaElement x:Name="media" Source="{Binding   
             ElementName=listbox,Path=SelectedItem}" 
             LoadedBehavior="Manual" UnloadedBehavior="Manual"/> 
 <Button Click="Button_Click" Height="27" VerticalAlignment="Bottom"   
         HorizontalAlignment="Left" Width="62">Play</Button>

Code Behind :-

private void Button_Click (object sender, RoutedEventArgs e) {
       media.Play ();
}

You should implement business logic to browse the directory you are targetting. Prepare a collection of Items. Bind these to Listbox
For playing the song, bind selected item to MediaElement.

I will try to compile some simple solution and update if you still need further help.

Updating simple solution:

Xaml:

<StackPanel Orientation="Vertical">
    <ListBox ItemsSource="{Binding}" x:Name="fileList"></ListBox>
    <MediaElement x:Name="mediaElement" Source="{Binding ElementName=fileList, Path=SelectedItem}"/>
</StackPanel>

Code Behind:

public partial class Window1 : Window {
    ObservableCollection<string> mFileList;

    public Window1 () {
        InitializeComponent ();
        GetFiles(@"..\songs");

        this.DataContext = mFileList;

    }

    private void GetFiles (string folderPath) {
       string[] files = Directory.GetFiles(folderPath);
       mFileList = new ObservableCollection<string> (files);
    }

}

As far as I know, Media Element doesn't support inbuilt listing. But no reason to worry. You can maintain your own collection or list of the selected items. MediaElement will fire 'MediaEnded' event when it is done with playing current song. Just capture this event and play next song on this till you have song available in the collection – Ujjwal Aug 29 '11 at 06:28

You need to handle the mediaended event as below :-

<MediaElement x:Name="media" Source="{Binding ElementName=listbox,Path=SelectedItem}"   MediaEnded="media_MediaEnded"
                 ></MediaElement>

Codebehind :-
` private void media_MediaEnded (object sender, RoutedEventArgs e) {
        if (listbox.SelectedIndex < listbox.Items.Count - 1) {
            listbox.SelectedIndex = listbox.SelectedIndex + 1;
        }`
