Dunno about xspf format, but you can generate an m3u list (which 
includes the full path, which is what you need), by cd to the dir in 
which the tune are and simply to
find . -type f > playlist.m3u

Audacious can, to my knowledge, play an m3u list.
If you move the dir, of course, you will have to generate this list 
again, since the path to the files will change.
