Copy folder contents, but not folder?

Trying to help a friend out, here. He's using iTunes and it has his music organized like... Folder -> Artist -> Album. He wants to copy all the mp3's and move them all to the same folder.

I believe there's a command for this, I just can't remember what it is.

Anyone?

EDIT: Nevermind...just found out why he wanted to do this, he has alternatives.
 
Careful with the size of the folder. I run a music server in my home for streaming music to PCs on the LAN. It's a standalone PC that just all of my CDs burned to MP3s. The "My Music" folder has about 35GB of data in it. It is structured as follows: My Music/Artist/Albums/Songs. For some reason, the "My Music" folder began acting very sluggish and taking several seconds to open the folders on the local machine. This increased substantially when accessing the music from the network. I ended up having to add another tier of folders to fix the issue. Now the folder looks like this: My Music/A-D/Artist/... and My Music/E-H/Artist... and My Music/I-M/Artist/... and so on. I don't know why that helped, but it did. Anyone know why?
 
It's called division of labor. You created smaller pots that are faster to look through. That's a very simple layman's explanation. Anyway, it's a bump. 🙂
