Extracting files from folders
Anyone here know a quick way of moving the files from 615 folders to one new folder? I want to put all my album tracks in one folder and manually it will take me a long, long time.

Mac or Windoze?
Mac piece of wee. Run up Terminal.
cd <source_directory_header>
mv */* /<target_directory>
Windoze
Order a pizza
Grab a wrist rest
Get stuck in
Unless you install a decent command line interpreter such as bash running under Cygwin or similar.

Assuming you're using windows if all the folders are subfolders of a parent folder, and the files you're moving are the only contents, do a search on the parent folder for *.* (or all files) and cut and paste from the search results window.

Genius Marc, I'm running Windows 7 and I do believe that will work. Thanks you have saved me a lot of tedious work.

This is exactly what I do. If you're searching for MP3s only, obviously change the search string to '.mp3'.
If you have a large number of files with the same name, this method will not work for duplicate file names, so you'd need to download a batch file re-namer.
