this is what finally worked for me..

IReadOnlyList<Windows.Storage.StorageFile> resultsLibrary; 
// to store the library


resultsLibrary = await Windows.Storage.KnownFolders.MusicLibrary.GetFilesAsync(CommonFileQuery.OrderByName);
// this is the list created.


//and this is what shows the media library in a list in xaml
 length = resultsLibrary.Count;
            list.Items.Clear();


            for (int j = 0; j < length; j++)
            {
                list.Items.Add(resultsLibrary[j].Name);
            }

To do this, you must use the KnownFolders class. You must first add the Music Library and Videos Library capabilities in your app manifest, then you can access them via that class.
