As one very newbie to another,

Wouldn't it be "safer" to use 'mv' instead of 'cp' and 'rm'? That way, 
if the destination dir didn't exist (/industgoth/new) the script would 
error out and not have removed any of the mp3 files from the original 
location.

Also, was there a special reason for the copying them to the root dir 
instead of straight to the destination dir?
