When ripping audio CDs using K3b with CDDB as the lookup using default options, file output names sometimes contain forbidden characters. For example, I was able to catch / but I was not on the lookout for : ? & an example: 08 - Johann Sebastian Bach - Brandenburgisches Konzert No. 6 in B-dur, BWV 1051: II. Adagio ma non troppo.ogg KDE allowed these file names to save, but gives seemingly random errors when trying to copy later. For example, if I want to move these files, sometimes only the folder will copy, and sometimes the file manager will crash. Reproducible: Sometimes Steps to Reproduce: 1. Try to rip a classical CD into .ogg files using default options. 2. K3b will allow to save files, there is a good chance there will be a / : ? or & in the name of the file. 3. Try to move the folder to a USB drive or another folder. Only the folder will copy, or another error will occur. Actual Results: Could not copy files. Expected Results: Files saved without forbidden characters and can copy to other folders.

I was able to reproduce the issue tonight 10/24/2022. The file is able to save on the filesystem (ext4) and copy to an external drive (ext4). I realize now that my old external drive must have been formatted fat32, and : is a forbidden character for filenames on fat32. This is why it was able to rip and save on ext3/4 but could not copy to fat32. Nevertheless k3b is still allowing those characters in filenames.
