Splitting key-value string using LINQ

Time has come to get down-and-dirty with LINQ! For an app i'm building, i need to store an array of key/value pairs in a single string. It consists of an ID and a folder path, which are separated by use of a semicolon delimiter. The actual pairs are then separated using a pipe. Here is an example:

string folders = @"32;c:\|48;c:\code|52;c:\program files|";

I created the following method that returns a Dictionary object:

        public static Dictionary<int, string> GetFolders(string folders)
        {
            string[] x = folders.Split(new[] { '|' }, StringSplitOptions.RemoveEmptyEntries); // first retrieve a string array of all the pairs

            return x.ToDictionary(y => Convert.ToInt32(y.Split(';')[0]), y => y.Split(';')[1]); // second stage of splitting
        }

Here's a full working console example:

using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Linq;
using System.Text;

namespace ConsoleApplication1
{
    class Program
    {
        static void Main(string[] args)
        {
            string folders = @"30;c:\|48;c:\code|99;c:\Program Files";
            Dictionary<int, string> KeyValuePairs = GetFolders(folders);
            foreach (KeyValuePair<int, string> pair in KeyValuePairs)
            {
                Console.WriteLine("Key: '" + pair.Key + "', Value: '" + pair.Value + "'");
            }
            Console.ReadKey();

            /* Results:
             * 
             * Key: '30', Value: 'c:\'
             * Key: '48', Value: 'c:\code'
             * Key: '99', Value: 'c:\Program Files'
            */
        }

        public static Dictionary<int, string> GetFolders(string folders)
        {
            string[] x = folders.Split(new[] { '|' }, StringSplitOptions.RemoveEmptyEntries); // first retrieve a string array of all the pairs

            return x.ToDictionary(y => Convert.ToInt32(y.Split(';')[0]), y => y.Split(';')[1]); // second stage of splitting
        }
    }
}
