I think you mean

ls *.ogg > playlist

ls -l doesn't work here.

mplayer -shuffle -playlist playlist 

does work :)

But if I'm not in X, how do I set more commands?

For example  when I want to listen to some music before going to  sleep?

sudo shutdown -h 00:00 &
mplayer -shuffle -playlist playlist 

?
