I have a big zip archive and I want to extract only .mp3 files that are located in sites/default/files/ to mymp3 directory. How can I achieve it?

I found the solution, you can do it with 

unzip yourzipfile.zip 'sites/default/files/*.mp3' -d mymp3

    You better put the filename wildcard into quotes, else you'll get problems if an mp3 already exists in the local path. – Murphy Feb 26 '16 at 12:25
