Hello I am looking to move my mp3s from a sub folder to a new sub folder for example see below. I am looking to use a bat file, VB script, or Apple Automator command or any suggested program. I have hundreds of folders to go though and would like the process automated. Thank you for help.
before move
Root
Main Folder 1
Sub Folder 1
song1.mp3
song2.mp3
Sub Folder 2
song3.mp3
song4.mp3
Main Folder 2
Sub Folder 1
song5.mp
Sub Folder 2
song6.mp3

After move

Root
Main Folder 1
song1.mp3
song2.mp3
song3.mp3
song4.mp3
Main Folder 2
song5.mp3
song6.mp3

@echo off
set /p dest= What Directory would you like?
move *.mp3 %dest%
pause

put it in notepad and save as .bat
it will ask where you want the file placed type the drive and path.
example: C:/Windows/system32

as for moving folders and things along with the .mp3's it will take more work and you will need to set the details up more.

enjoy!
