Though I could come unstuck with syntax on whatever Operating System is at your command prompt, I feel that the combination of "find" and "cpio" is the correct direction:

Quote:
find b/ -name *.flac -exec mv {} flac/ \;
Idea for replacement code which keeps the directory tree and works with directory and file names containing space characters.
Code:
cd /start_point
find b/ -name '*.flac' -print | cpio -pdumv flac/

This is a copy operation. When successful, then consider deleting the original files.
