Cannot export audio to (filename.aiff)
I have used 1.2.6 to export about 100 LPs to iTunes, with few problems. Today I imported & saved to aiff side-1 of an album. Then I imported side-2, split into tracks, and attempted another EXPORT MULTIPLE. Got a message saying -- Cannot export audio to (filename.aiff). I tried again. Then I downloaded 1.2.6a and got the same message. Any ideas? I have plenty of memory and free disc space (120GB) on a 2.7 MHz G5.

That's not what it actually said, was it? I'm betting it was complaining about you putting punctuation marks inside your filename.

Most computers will throw up if they see a filename like that. Upper and lower case letters, numbers, dash, and underscore are the only characters allowed inside a filename. I have to push files between all three computer platforms, so I don't use spaces, either.
Alternately, you tried to Export a file to a location where you didn't have proper permissions.
