One directory, extracting only files to a new directoy

I need a hint for extracting and copying only the loads of .mp3 files from one directory and its subdirectories to get them all into only one directory. This way I am doing gives me a identical copy with hundreds of subdirectories. But I just don't get it to extract only the files. Though I tried cpio as well, and with less success. Any hints how to handle this task? Thanks in advance, really. BTW, I need this checksum-routine to avoid duplicates. That is the implicit second task.

Code:
find /home/directory/origin ./ -iname "*.mp3" -exec sha256sum {} \; | 
sort -k 64 > /tmp/runner.txt | cp -nr /home/directory/origin /home/directory/destination | cat -n /tmp/runner.txt | cut -d " " -f1; exit 0;
