    file copy problem

    Problem is related to the music folders on my computer. I have 2 top level folders, one contains all my music in 'flac' format and the other contains the exact same music in mp3 format. The folder structure is top level folder called 'flac' with numerous subfolders of band names and these in turn have numerous subfolders with 1 album per folder. Each album folder contains the individual tracks PLUS 1 album art picture called 'cover.jpg'.
    The mp3 folder stucture is identical except the album folders do not contain the album art picture.
    How do I copy (hopefully in one easy to perform task) the album art from the flac file structure to the mp3 file structure?
    I can't do it manually as there are about 1500 folders (well theoretically I could do it manually but I don't have several days to sit and do it!)
    I thought I might be able to do it from a dos window using the XCOPY command but success has eluded me.

    Anyone care to offer a solution to my problem?

    doh, the light bulb came on the minute I'd posted the above!

    Used SyncToy and told it to only sync cover.jpg
