The big trick is to figure out which combination to put them together in and to use them.
wow...
but, how? i want to execute it.

That would be so simple.
Just find an appropriate MP3 player that will make it easy for you to control its buttons.
Ohh, I just realized that you can also control the buttons of a CD-Player with a PIC, too. Then in your case, you will need to find a CD-ROM that has play, stop and track, buttons on board. I am not sure if they are still making those.
Connect the buttons to PIC pins, and make the pins either HIGH or LOW as to say push and pull.
But if this is not your weekend spare-time project, then you will need to contact the factory that made the CD-ROM you have in mind, and ask them to provide you the codes for playing CDs.

or find an old PC and control everything via serial port.
here we can find tons of old PCs (from XT to Pentium II) for about 100$... big deal ;)
Sure it's bigger ;)
OR you may decide to learn the ATA protocol and find some explanation here and there... it already hit my mind but i don't think it's really handy now as the memory cards (SD, USB) are quite cheap. Some MP3 decoder IC are also available for few bucks... so everything you need to be happy :)

Some years ago, Elektor published a project using a HDD controlled by a µC for that purpose ...
