   If you want it all in one line:   
      
   for /f %i in ('dir /on /b   
   "C:\Users\terry\Dropbox\Electronics\Arduino\SKETCHES\MY   
   SKETCHES\PROJECTS_Arduino\TalkingTemp Proj\_MP3   
   _files\FromL-1\*.mp3"') do copy   
   "C:\Users\terry\Dropbox\Electronics\Arduino\SKETCHES\MY   
   SKETCHES\PROJECTS_Arduino\TalkingTemp Proj\_MP3 _files\FromL-1\%i" L:\   
      
   The /b matters. It tells the DIR command to output only the file   
   names.   
      
   If you can accept two lines, simply change the current directory (CD   
   command) to the directory that contains the MP3 files first. Then   
   Herbert's solution only needs the destination drive changed (this is   
   two lines):   
      
      
     cd "C:\Users\terry\Dropbox\Electronics\Arduino\SKETCHES\MY   
   SKETCHES\PROJECTS_Arduino\TalkingTemp Proj\_MP3 _files\FromL-1"   
     for /f %i in ('dir /b /on *.mp3') do copy "%i" L:\   
      
   The quotes around the path and %i are only required if the path   
   contains spaces, but it is good practice.   
      
   As mentioned earlier, if you want to put this into a batch file, the   
   percent signs must be doubled.
