How to handle list of music files from sdcard

I want to handle all songs from SD card (like delete or rename them), so I am listing all music files in a listview but I do not know how to handle that list, here is what I tried so far:

// Use the current directory as title
path = "/sdcard/AudioRecorder/";

if (getIntent().hasExtra("path")) {
    path = getIntent().getStringExtra("path");
}

setTitle(path);

// Read all files sorted into the values-array
final List values = new ArrayList();
File dir = new File(path);

if (!dir.canRead()) {
    setTitle(getTitle() + " (inaccessible)");
}

final String[] list = dir.list();

if (list != null) {
    for (String file : list) {
        if (!file.startsWith(".")) {
            values.add(file);
        }
    }
}

Collections.sort(values);

// Put the data into the list
final ArrayAdapter adapter = new ArrayAdapter(this, android.R.layout.simple_list_item_2, android.R.id.text1, values);
setListAdapter(adapter);
myList.setOnItemLongClickListener(new AdapterView.OnItemLongClickListener() {
    @Override
    public boolean onItemLongClick(AdapterView<?> av, View v, int pos, long id) {
        return onLongListItemClick(v, pos, id);
    }

    private boolean onLongListItemClick(View v, final int pos, long id) {
        // TODO Auto-generated method stub
        AlertDialog.Builder builder = new AlertDialog.Builder(ListFileActivity.this);
        builder.setMessage("Are you sure you want to exit?")
            .setCancelable(false)
            .setPositiveButton("Yes",
                new DialogInterface.OnClickListener() {
                    public void onClick(DialogInterface dialog, int id) {
                        File file = new File(path+filename);
                        file.delete();
                        values.remove(pos);
                        adapter.notifyDataSetChanged();

                    }
                })

            .setNegativeButton("No",
                new DialogInterface.OnClickListener() {
                    public void onClick(DialogInterface dialog, int id) {
                        dialog.cancel();
                    }
                });

        AlertDialog alert = builder.create();
        alert.show();

        return true;
    }
});

@Override
protected void onListItemClick(ListView l, View v, int position, long id) {
    filename = (String) getListAdapter().getItem(position);
    Toast.makeText(getApplicationContext(), filename, Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
}

Here I am able to delete the list item but file not deleting on SD card for renaming give me little idea how to approach.

For deleting the file use the following

File file = new File("absolute_path_of_filename");
// check if file is not a directory
        if(!file.isDirectory())      {
// if not then delete it
            file.delete();
        }

For renaming use file.renameTo("filename with path");
