Well, "cpio" does it under *NIX, so the "cpio" that is part of Cygwin
<http://www.cygwin.com> will do it. And it's free.

Well, when you combine it with "find" it does what is required.

Something like:
$ find /starting/path -name '*.jpg' | cpio -p ...

If you go down the Cygwin path, this may appeal.

Sounds like you're the victim of failure to plan your file organization.
It's not completely automatic, but here's what you can do.

Download the trial version of totalcommander.
IN the left pane, navigate to the root of your mp3 stuff.
Point the right pane at the place you want it copied.
Click copy.
set only files of type "*.mp3"
You'll get all the directories you highlighted but only mp3 files
contained therein.
Go to the right pane and alternately space and down arrow to highlight
all the directories.
Directories with no files will say "DIR" and not have a size.
You can delete those.
If it's important, you can go down a level in directories with mp3 content
and do the same thing to delete empty subdirectories.

Or you can whip out any programming language that can handle long file names
and write a simple program to copy just the files you want.
Can probably do it with a batch file or simple scripting language.
