try this:

List<string> mediaExtensions = new List<string>{"mp3", "mp4"};
List<string> filesFound = new List<string>();

void DirSearch(string sDir) 
{
   foreach (string d in Directory.GetDirectories(sDir)) 
   {
    foreach (string f in Directory.GetFiles(d, "*.*")) 
    {
        if(mediaExtensions.Contains(Path.GetExtension(f).ToLower()))
           filesFound.Add(f);
    }
    DirSearch(d);
   }
