You could probably do what most media players do to figure out each file's 
type: Read through the first few bytes of the file, looking for obvious 
system codes etc. that identify the type of file.  There's currently 
nothing in the LIVE.COM libraries that does this, but you could take a look 
at code for some open source media players - e.g., VLC - which have to do 
the same thing.
