Ben, since you are new, you need a more detailed plan.
#1) How do you envision access to the music. Files on disk? Streams off web?
#1a) If files, for you know how to navigate a disk?
#1b) If streams, do you know how to connect to one?
#2) What formats are you going to support? Wav, MP3, Ogg, etc?
#3) What do you know about playing sound from C++?
#4) What do you know about reading music files/streams in C++?
#5) Console or GUI? I assume GUI. What have you done so far that's GUI-based?
These are just some basic questions you need to be able to answer... and program.
