	I don't think 'ls' can do it, but 'find' can.  Try:

	alias M1='find /home/andrew/mp3 | sort >/home/andrew/tmp/mp3list;
mpg123 -@/home/andrew/tmp/mp3list -V'

You don't really need to sort, since you're playing 'em randomly anyway,
but it makes the listing nicer if you wish to edit it.  You'll probably
never see the slowdown either unless you have thousands of files.
