Hm, Input/Output error, that is some hardware error which means that there are hardware problems with your disk, or the OS is at least reporting this error for some reason.

Are you sure that your disk is Ok?

I could add some error resistance, such that when some reading error (IO error) occurs, it tries to reopen the file and read again. Actually, for network access, where this can happen, I was planning to add that. That is also probably the reason why Amarok skips sometimes songs when it plays them from a Samba share.
