i can copy that
*.mp3 finds only ca. 500 mp3s
mp3 finds all mp3s i think and other stuff
best is in terminal typing:

find ~/ -iname *.mp[3,4] > music.txt

that finds also my mp4s (ok - now it finds also some movies...) --
i'm working on finding the m4p-files as well ;)

The classic unix way would be:

find ~ \( -iname *.mp3 -iname *.mp4 -o -iname *.m4p \) -print > music.txt

That crazy [3,4] doesn't work under my Linux shells.

i'm using bash2.05b on mac os 10.4.8 or bash 3.0.0.16 under SuSE
Linux (just a vserver -- can't easily install a good distribution)
and there works [] fine

Actually, it would be
find ~ \( -iname \*.mp3 -iname \*.mp4 -o -iname \*.m4p \) -print

Otherwise most shells will try an expand the * with matching filenames
within the directory.

yeah you're right -- i actually used double-quotes rather than backslashes
around the patterns.

and when you take user error out of the equation:

find . \( -iname "*.mp[34]" -o -iname "*.m4p" \) -print

including the comma will actually match the comma (on the off chance you
have a file mysong.mp, that you don't want matched haha).

Hee! Yeah I'm not sure if it's my impressive command-line-fu, my large ...
vocabulary, or my dastardly good looks that has honeys like Etna and Yuna
swooning over me.

But seriously, there's a piece of the Venn diagram where "nerdy",
"unix-loving", "female", and "attractive" all overlap.
That's the sweet spot
right there.
