Need some help regarding copying

Hiya guys, I have a problem, well more of a task I wish to execute, but unsure how to do it.

I have MP3's I have taken from my CD's and put on my PC. I have made a main folder called MP3, inside this folder, are numerous folders listed by genre. Inside these genre folders are albums in folders, with a folder.jpg assigned to each folder.

I wish to backup all my album art. but other than doing manually which would take hours upon hours, I am not sure how?

I have solved half the problem, I have found a application called Treecopy, which copies all of the structure completely, to a place of my choice, but this only copies the folders, no files. I now wish to move the folder.jpg files in this backup structure, without the MP3's. in the same folders!

I can use Windows 7 to search for all the files, but they are just 1 huge list of folder.jpgs!

Is there someway I can copy the exact folder strucute AND all the JPEG files within, but not the MP3s?

Ingenious

But it also reads like you're setting yourself up for a "file not found' problem of major proportions.
Moving the .jpg files makes it likely that the computer will lose them since you're breaking the path.
