A good file search alogorithm

I need to do a search on the entire filesystem of my pc and list the mp3 files that are found....can anyone suggest a way to do it.

File.listRoots will give the file system roots.The main doubt i have is in deciding whether to create a file object for every directory that is encountered. Is there a better way to search....also performance is a concern...

pls help

I would have thought a simple recursive search would work. Use java.io.File.listFiles.John

I can't really think of any other sensible way to do it. Also, I would use the version of listFiles that takes a FileFilter as its argument.
