There are many ways to do this, but the easiest way I think is to do:
find /path/to/mp3s -type f -name "*.mp3" > playlist.txt
You will get a list of files (no directories) that end in ".mp3"
complete with path info. This command will also rescind down any
subdirectory in the top directory you specify but will only list the
files found, again, no directories. "man find" if you need more
details.
