Bash Script to move Files

I don't know how to write scripts, but I've been trying to figure this out
on my own.
I took an example I had of a temp file deleter and tried to make it work to
a file mover.
The example I was starting with was:
find -name *.tmp -exec rm -rf {} \;
And I tried to get it to seek out all my *.ogg files and dump them into a
media folder.
To prevent it from moving files repeatedly, I changed to the directory I
wanted to search and moved it to a different directory on another mount.
I can't get it to work though. I thought I could substitute rm -rf with mv
/media/oggs but that didn't seem to work.
Google hasn't found me any good hits, as I'm sure it's too hard of a thing
to search for.
Anyone on here have one already or know what I should do to make mine work?
Thanks.
