Clever PC/Lappy Folks?

So. Here's a question for those that are handy around Windows based lappies/pc's..

I have a load of music files stored in a main folder, each file is in a sub folder, and sometimes there's a folder within a folder.
IE/ Music>AC/DC>highway to hell> 'actual files'

Is there a clever/quick way of pulling the actual files out from those folders in a kind of 1 hit way?

The aim is ultimately to stick the files on my phone, (all of them), but before i do, i'd prefer to try and normalise the sound levels as much as poss - which means opening them with a 3rd party program.

As it stands i'd have to load them folder by folder, and then transfer them en-masse to the phone.
So looking for a way to pull out all the files into 1 main folder and work on them from there. I don't fancy trawling through and doing that manually, as will take ages- hence my question.

Thoughts? Tips? or is it not possible to do that?

From windows explorer (file manager) select the music folder then in the search box search for *.mp3 and it'll list all the mp3 files in all the subfolders. Can then just copy/paste the whole list.
