Create searchable (versified) list of sermons with metadata and media-links - How do I do it??

Hey everyone, I am new to the forum. I am sorry if this has been answered before, I am just not sure how to search for it, though I did try.

I have a collection of about 200 sermons (mp3 files + pdf handouts), each part of a sermon-series (of anywhere between 2 and 20). Also each with a title. 

What I want to do is this:

1. Add this collection of sermons 'database' to Logos (like a spreadsheet of sermon titles, media, passage, etc...), so that when I search a passage from anywhere in Logos, and there is a passage that matches (i.e. one of these sermons is on that passage), it is returned as a resource, like any other resource that has matching information (commentary, illustration, etc..) in Logos.
2. For each of these, be able to build some notes for each sermon, describing parallel passages, key topics, illustrations, etc - this is what is returned when there is a match.
3. Have a link for each one to the .mp3 file I have on my system to listen to it.
4. In a sense, this would work like treating each sermon as a mini-book, where it knows all the passages it references, media file links, speaker, topic, series, etc.. (i know I have to add all that), so that when I search, for example "1Tim2.2", Logos would show me, among all resources that match this, that I also have a sermon from this collection that I could see and listen to.

I would assume there is a way to do this, but I have no idea where to start. Any help is really appreciated!

Thanks!
