FTP is probably not the best solution for this, for reasons too 
numerable to list this morning.

But for the task as described, other simpler, more efficient, and more 
secure alternatives exist:

Can you run a CGI on the server holding the MP3 files to obtain that list?

Or, if they're within you're web root, can you use Apache's directory 
listing?
