one liner to move mp3 from all subDirectories to the current directory.
put commands in file movem. source movem.

find | grep mp3 | sed -e 's/ /\\ /g' | sed -e 's/-/\\-/g' | awk '{print "mv " $0" ."}' > movem
find lists all files.
grep only mp3
sed substitute "\ " for all spaces.
sed substitute "\-" for all -
awk build move command.
awk add "mv " then file then " ." meaning this directory
> redirect in file movem
then chmod 666 all mp3. remove directories usually D01 .... Dnn
