locate   will return the file name.
find      will return the file name and the realative path
example:
find /music/oggfiles  -iname '*.ogg'    #all ogg files under /music/oggfiles 


I would do something like:
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
#!/bin/sh
cd /music/oggfles

for i in `find ./ -iname '*.ogg'`           #  note use of backtics
do
  echo  "working with $i"
  filename=`echo $i |sed  's/^.*\///'`  #strip the path
  echo "filename $filename"           #make symbolic link in this directory
  ln -s $i $filename                       #lmake symb. links.
done

+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

Best of luck
