I'm going to move my Winamp library from its current location (in various folders inside My Documents) to My Music, but I can't just drag and drop them, as there's thousands of files within My Documents that I don't want moved. I can get the path of every single music file from Winamp, but I don't know any way to move them all.

I'd like some way to maintain their current folder arrangement, and not just dump all the files in a single folder, unorganised.

robocopy C:\source C:\destination /S /MOV *.mp3

Usage:

Usage :: ROBOCOPY source destination [file [file]...] [options]

source :: Source Directory (drive:\path or \\server\share\path).
destination :: Destination Dir  (drive:\path or \\server\share\path).
file :: File(s) to copy  (names/wildcards: default is "*.*").

::
:: Copy options :
::

/S :: copy Subdirectories, but not empty ones.

/MOV :: MOVe files (delete from source after copying).

Copy the entire my documents folder to a new folder. Then, do a windows find/search in the new folder for *.mp3, sort the results by filetype, then delete non-mp3s.

This will leave you with some useless empty folders, (previously containing office documents without mp3s) which I guess you can purge manually or via some app that deletes empty folders.

A rudimentary solution.
