Might I suggest the following small changes, assuming you want *all* the mp3
files listed in one playlist.
#!/bin/sh
find . -type d -print |
while read x
do
(cd "$x"; ls | grep -i mp3 >> "~/playlist.m3u")
done
which also has the advantage of listing files which end in uppercase or mixed case, i.e. song.MP3 or song.Mp3.
