Saving as an mp2

Hello! I've been trying to save my WAV file as mp2 and keep getting an error message that "my destination might be full or no longer available." I followed the previous thread from 2018 on this and tried all those suggestions but nothing has worked. I get the same message no matter what I try. My coworkers on older versions of Audition have managed to do this - I have both 2021 and 2022 right now.

I've just tried it on this laptop with the current release and it saves a wav as an MP2 just fine. We never had a satisfactory answer as to what might be causing the issue with this on the older thread, but I don't think it has anything to do with space on a HD - that's just a suggestion. What is a possibility is that it doesn't like something in the file name. I don't know of anything specific, but any name in English with no funny characters or spaces in it should be okay.

I'm having the same problem and nothing has fixed it. That includes changing the name, saving to different locations, and even reinstalling Audition.

For a long time, Audition would save MP2 files just fine and then, last Thursday, it stopped and I've been trying to figure out what to do. Eventually, I had to use an online file converter because Audition refused to save as an MP2. I still can't even adjust the metadata in Audition once I did get the MP2 file on my computer.

Other people at my workplace have been experiencing the same issue for multiple years. This clearly isn't a problem of settings or other easy to miss factors. This needs to be reported as a bug and dealt with.

So what changed last Thursday? (Here's a clue - it wasn't Audition...)
