Here is the first part of my "music.cmd" that I keep on my desktop:

T:
cd \music\paul\songs
G:
cd \music\songs
xcopy t:*.* /D /S /V
pause to review songs results

T: 
changes the current drive to T: whicfh is the source drive

cd \music\paul\songs
changes the current directory on t:  and the .m4a's are in the
directory structure here

G: 
changes the current drive to the target (usb) drive the the music
(folders) are in \music\songs

Since G: is the current drive, xcopy t:*.* copies everthing from the t:
drive (starting in \music\paul\songs\) to the current drive/directory on
G:

/D says copy only "newer" files
/S says to copy all files in all of the sub-directories as well
/V says to verify the copy
