try this 

--begin--
   #!/bin/bash

cp -uv /home/me/*.mp3  /music/

--end--

All it's will do is copy any file ending in .mp3 to your /music directory. 
Note: Linux is case senstive and Windows is not, so the limit this script has 
is that it wont copy a MP3 file. Easily fixed and I know there's neater way 
of doing it, but I don't how to do it. Also when you create the file don't 
forget to make it executable, meaning...   "chmod u+x filename "

P.S. No worries about permissions, fat32 doesn't support them. Note: leave out 
the "begin" and "end" lines
