Try this:

Make the directory 'wma' in your home folder and then run this.

#!/bin/bash

for file in `locate .wma`; do mv "$file" ~/wma; done

I've tested this with an 'echo "$file" rather than the move operation,
and get newlines on some space characters, but try it. See if it
works. I hope it does. :-)

Good luck!

Chris
