moving files and folders thru command line

I have mounted a partition that has music on it. I have a /nt/d/FTP/music/
This is where the music is. Now in the music folder is the songs in folders by their artists. I have a lot of them and I dont want to keep doing all these cp. Is there a command that I can do to just move all these at once?

i dont know if theres a single comand but a bash script might be able to do it (i aint good at scriptsing so i dont knwo how it would be done),

mybe try (hmmm i think that is jsut 1 comand?)

mv /nt/d/FTP/music/*/* /music/werever/you/want

cp with the -R (recursive) option will work.
