Moving all mp3s to a single directory
 

Hi, I got a simple question this time: I want to move all my mp3s to a single directory. I now that to find them a can use find like this

<code>
fina / -name "*mp3"
</code>

I think I need to use a pipe to connnect the find with the mv command but I don't really know how.

Thanks in advance,
Wilmer

Almost there :)

find / -iname "*.mp3" -exec mv "{}" /path/to/target/. \;

You might want to check if there are no sounds from programs being moved ;) I don't know which extension they have but you never know.

You may want to add a grep /home to that somewhere, so that it restricts moving, to files only found in /home. /home can be substituted for other places as well.

If he wanted to achieve that he'd have done a
find /home
instead of a
find /


Cheers,
