I have just transferred 12 tracks from an LP to my computer as I normally do, cleaned them up and added labels as I normally do, then I went through the process of 'exporting multiple' again as I normally do without having any problems.
This time however, after exporting 5 of the files (tracks) I received a message telling me - "Unable to open target file for writing". When I look in the target file, yes, the five 'successful' files are there OK, but it is leaving me puzzled.
Does anyone know why I am getting this message when I have followed the same procedure many times before quite successfully?

Re: Unable to open target file for writing
Your 6th label probably contains at least one character which is not allowable in filenames - try sticking to simple alpha-numeric characters for labels.

Thanks waxcylinder,
There was a question mark at the end of the label and deleting it did the trick.
Again, many thanks
