Ignore me.

Somewhere along the line I seem to have overwritten my .p2g file with a .lbl file from Acoustica Label Maker. I don't know quite how that happened, but obviously it was driver error. It was only when I spotted my .p2g file in the list of "recent files" in Label Maker that I figured it out.

And yes, Label Maker cheerfully opened that file.

Just curious, did you try and rename the ALM file back to the .p2g file extension? Thanks,

There was no ALM file.

It looks like this all stemmed from Acoustica Label Maker being sloppy about file extensions. Jerry Schwartz

Hi Jerrys, just curious on this. Were you able to find at least a work around on this?

The project was very simple (one mp3, one PDF), and I didn't mind losing it.

As for Acoustica Label Maker, I just renamed the .p2g file and was able to recover the label (with artwork), which was more important than the project I lost.

The real problem is that Acoustica Label Maker overwrote a file that didn't "belong" to it. That's their problem, so I'll just have to be careful in the future. Jerry Schwartz
