I need to copy thousands of .mp3 files from my laptop to a thumb drive, but I need to strip out all the folders. Right now they are organized "music/artist/album/song.mp3" but I need to copy close to 6k of them to the root folder of the thumb drive. Is there an easy way to do that?

I'd probably use python for this personally. A variation of this would work.

If you want to use windows commands, one of these ought to help:

Thanks. So for me I would get into the cmd screen and use

for /r c:users/public/public music %f in (*.mp3) do @copy "%f" F:\
??

I don't know if I have the forward/back slashes right.

Easiest way is just do a *.* search from Explorer from the root folder of all the files. Then select all the files (sorting out the folders) and drag to your thumb drive.
