Volume level of an MP3

Question

I'm working in VB 6. I have an mp3 playing, and I want the next song to begin playing if the volume level of the current song drops below a certain level in the MP3 file at the end of the song. So I want to scan backward from the end of the file and check the volume level of each frame for the correct volume to start the next mp3 playing. It's sort of a cross fading function that's based on volume level instead of an arbitrary number of seconds.

I also need to do this when the song loads, not as it's playing. Can it be done? Any help is appreciated.

Basically, I just need to know how to read the volume level of an mp3 at any given frame. I know how to do everything else.

This is acting as a volume control setting for the overall sound output. What i need is something that reads an mp3 file and tells me the volume level of any given frame of the song. That way, if the volume level drops below a certain level at the end of the song, the program knows to start the next song to fill in the dead air.
