OK, I think I have figured it out now. I thank everyone who contributed! Indeed, I believe it was a filename problem. I should have put on the dies on the opens and closes, and now I know better. The problem appears to be in filenames with odd characters, such as apostraphes and quotes (i.e. "Weird Al" yankovic, which tried to create a file called "Weird Al" yankovic.html which died.) Also was the problem of files that had no artist associated with them, which then created a file ".html", which is not quite what I want. So, I now have to figure out how to scrub out the invalid characters, and some way of catagorizing the odd files that have no artist. Again, thank you for your help!
