Locate and play mp3 files with given pattern in path

/ Published in: Ruby
Save to your folder(s)
Gets an mp3 player to play mp3s which contain all the phrases given as arguments. Locate is much faster than xmms' library, usually in split a second.
This is very handy, when you install a command-line into the wm panel.
Creates files /locate.0, /locate.1, /locate.tmp.m3u.
Not reentrant.
