Creating a Service Menu

I want to create an "action" so that when I right click on an mp3 file I have the option of copying the file to /media/mp3player (where my mp3player is mounted). I have created the following file:

[Desktop Entry]
ServiceTypes=audio/x-mp3
Actions=sendtomp3player

[Desktop Action sendtomp3player]
Name=Send To MP3 Player
Exec=cp /media/mp3player

The problem clearly is the last line. Can someone tell me the correct command line to enter for copying the file I've right-clicked on?

Thanks.

%f is the filename
%F is a list of filenames
