I have a general music folder with artist and album subfolders containing songs (.mp3) and album covers etc. I want to copy just the .mp3 files to a new directory. If I conduct a search of the Music folder to include only mp3 files, I see 8724 items which I know is correct. When I highlight all and copy to a new directory, only 7320 items are copied. There are too many files to easily determine which ones are missing, or at least I don't know how to do that.

How do I get a complete copy of just the mp3 files from the master directory?

You could try copying only an X number of files at a time.

How do you highlight them? Have you tried to click one and then press CTRL+A to select all results?
