Procurar arquivos MP3 e gerar playlist

Esse foi meu primeiro script Python. A idéia é poder digitar toca white stripes na linha de comando do Linux ou MiniCli, e o XMMS abriria com uma playlist com todos arquivos mp3 que tivessem essas palavras-chave. Também é possível usar esse script no Windows, basta mudar as variáveis root_folder e player apropriadamente (algo como "c:\\my documents\\mp3" e "c:\\arquivos de programas\\winamp\\winamp.exe", respectivamente).

Boa sorte, e me contate caso tenha alguma dúvida. Também estou aberto a sugestões pra melhorar esse script. Ainda tem algumas coisas com cara de C e Java no código, mas aos poucos to me acostumando com o "estilo Python"

Código

"""
Usage: toca <options> <keywords> ....
Example: toca beatles let it be

Searches all mp3 files with the _all_ specified keywords, generates
a playlist and execute it.

It accepts the same options as winamp or xmms, such as -e to enqueue,
and -s for shuffle. Actually the options are simply passed forward
to the player so all the xmms/winamp options are available.

If you didn't do it already, don't forget to change the variable
root_folder in this file (use any simple text editor).
"""

# ------------ configuration options ------------
root_folder = "/windows/E/mp3"               # change this to your mp3 root folder...
print "WARNING: root_folder not customized." # and remove this line.

player = "xmms" # at windows might be something like c:\\program files\\winamp\\winamp.exe
playlist_filename = "playlist.m3u"

Para usar

Renomeie o arquivo para toca, dê um chmod +x toca e copie para um diretório no seu PATH, por exemplo /usr/local/bin/. Então basta digitar $ toca <palavras-chave>. Pode usar quantas palavras quiser, para tornar a busca mais precisa (por exemplo, toca beatles let it be. Quaisquer opcões iniciadas com um "-" são passadas pro player, por exemplo "-e" para colocar as músicas na fila da playlist atual (enqueue) e "-s" para shuffle.
