Recursive Copy

fizgig10 · 07-16-2005, 11:25 PM

I'm trying to move all my mp3 files that are in various directories (by band and album) into one big folder all together. For example:

\music
\311
\Transistor
\Prisoner.mp3
\A Perfect Circle
\Mer de noms
\Judith.mp3

My guess was to go into the music directory and try "mv -r *.mp3 ." but that didn't work.

Is there a way to accomplish this easily?

find -type f -iname "*.mp3" -exec mv "{}" target/. \;
