Some minor optimisations:

On a Unix system:

$ find . -name '*.m3u' -exec cat {} \; > outfile
 
In python:

import os.path

def all_m3u(outputfile, dirname, names):
    ext = ''
    root = ''
    f = None
    for name in names:
        root, ext = os.path.splitext(name)
        if ext == '.m3u':
            f = open(os.path.join(dirname, name))
            outputfile.write(f.read())
            f.close()

def doit(dir, outputfile):
    f = open(outputfile, 'w')
    os.path.walk(dir, all_m3u, f)
    f.close()

if __name__ == '__main__':
    doit('.', 'outputfile')
