Copy files from folder of lnk files back into folder

Question

I have a bunch of folders, each containing a number of shortcut link files to mp3 files existing in completely separate folders. eg:

/rock-mp3-shortcuts
/jazz-mp3-shortcuts
/funk-mp3-shortcuts

what command would I run (or program to use) to copy all the underlying mp3 files back into the folders of shortcuts that are pointing to them.

I basically want to get all the files in each genre folder of shortcuts to then copy into my portable mp3 player.

You can check shortcutJS.bat with which you can create or check info about .lnk.You will need it in the same directory with this code:

@echo off

setlocal
::set your location on the line bellow
set "mp3_dir=c:\mp3_dir"
pushd "%mp3_dir%"
for /r %%# in (*.lnk) do (

    for /f "tokens=1* delims=: " %%a in ('shortcutJS.bat -examine "%%~f#"^|find /i "target"') do (
        echo location of %%# : %%~fb
        rem !!!!  remove the echo on the line bellow if everything is ok !!!!
        echo copy "%%~fb" "%%~dp#"
    )

)
endlocal
