Apologies for late reply. Real Life intervened.

I think I've cracked the find command:
find -type f -regex ".*/.*\.\(mp3\|ogg\|flac\)"

It gives the result I want; now all I need to do is put the whole script
together and I'm winning.

Unfortunately, I won't have the time till Saturday/Sunday but I am
optimistic that I'm on the home straight.
