But I don't want the sub folders to come along with the copy. I'd like to
grab the mp3 files out of a set of subfolders and place them all into a
single folder somewhere else.

I'm completely lost when it comes to bash scripting, so I may take Michael
P. Reilly's suggestion as a starting point since it's the only one I
understand at first glance ;).

I'm really a newbie to python programming so readability and understanding
it is first on my list. Efficiency and speed is secondary to me at the
moment.

Thanks to all for the help.
