How can I search for FOLDERS containing a specific extension?

My Audiobook folder contains subfolders which themselves contain either m4b or mp3 files. In my spare time I like to convert the latter to the former but it's time-consuming and tedious and I need to keep the files in their nicely-labeled folders with reviews and other supplemental materials. I've been seeking for years how to do this but haven't yet found the trick.

MacBook Pro 15″, macOS 10.15

You're right that it does yet it's in the same way I can do it in Finder. Probably I should have included something of my workflow but I didn't want to leave a novel ; ) The app gives me the same list I can get in finder: going to "Enclosing Folder" then using Finder's Path Bar to carefully grab the tiny folder, drop it where it goes and wait for it to copy before deleting and repeating 'til my eyes give out. I've loved the app but it can't ease the tedium of this project, alas. Many thanks for your idea, though!
