Hello all,
I am no scripting guru, but I think this is a simple command?
I would like to perform a search of a directory and all it's sub directories for a certain file type, then mv all the files to a single directory.
Basically I have a DJ rig with tons of duplicate mp3's, I would like to move them all to one directory so I can then clean up and sort back out.
