It's "ditto" to copy the contents of directories to another directory. "cp"
works but you have to use a switch and be careful since it will copy the
directory itself rather than contents:

Secondly, "cp" doesn't use the pipe or the "more" function. This is Unix not
DOS. DOS works on that other OS remember?

So,

Ditto ~/iPod_1/ipod_control/music ~/iPod_2/ipod_control/music

Will copy the "Contents" of iPod_1 to iPod_2
