Penguin,

I believe something like this might do what you describe (note this is untested!):
rsync --recursive --prune-empty-dirs --include '*/' --include cover.jpg --exclude '*' C:\CDs D:\Covers 

The rsync man page has a whole section on filter rules (`man rsync`) which you can read yourself for more insight into its capabilities.

Kind Regards,
Laurence
