NodeJS has a full API for reading/writing files from JavaScript. I’m not aware of any mp3 libraries for it, though…
Edit: I assumed you meant JavaScript in a non-browser environment, but everyone else seems to be assuming you mean JavaScript in a web browser. If you do, then you’ll struggle until/unless more browsers implement the various File APIs being created by the W3C. This article talks about those in some depth. There are very few browsers that have implemented the necessary APIs, though. Chrome may be the only one that lets you traverse directories.
