I am having a problem trying to get my export script to work. Seems it worked fine for several then somehow it is now broken. I have scoured the code and can't find anything wrong. Can someone please take a look at it?

That did it! Can you tell me what was wrong with the file? I noted that you added $filename... as the very first thing. What is that for?

Beside some small cosmetic changes, there was the hot spot in the array width declaration ( **WIDTH="100%"** ).  
The percent sign is one character of a set of special characters have to be masked if you want to use them unparsed by Mp3Tag.  
I did the trick by doubling the percent sign ( **WIDTH="100%%"** ), but the recommended way is to put single quotes around the percent sign ( **WIDTH="100'%'"** ).
