Copying files from multiple directories

If you are interested, this is a solution that I used to copy *.m4a files from multiple directories into a new directory:

find . -name "*.m4a" -exec cp "{}" /<dir> \;

This will search for any occurrance of *.m4a in the current directory and any subdirectory and move them to the specified directory.
