[QUOTE="IvanLasston, post: 1483151, member: 145676"] your find is wrong Try this first [code] find . -name '*.flac' -print [/code] That should show you all the flac files in your directory I believe it should be [code] find . -name '*.flac' -exec mv {} /where/you/want/to/move/to \; [/code] [/QUOTE]
