apparently you have a faulty file there, what happens if you try to move away that file:
/media/Storage/Musics/!Rock_new!/Iced Earth/Framing Armageddon/Framing Armageddon (Something Wicked Part 1).ape ?

did you ever successfully create a collection with .ape files in it?

what phonon backend are you using, try changing it

I removed about 30 albums and then scanner completed the job. I have no idea why some APE files are OK and some are not.
Should I report about this?

found a couple of ape bug reports https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=279235 https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=284802

did you test multiple phonon backends? Gstreamer and VLC? what version of phonon and Gstreamer are installed?

If you append (or drag and drop) a "bad" track does it play in Amarok? Question being is the problem the scan tool or the backend

are you able to play the problematic ape files with a different Linux media player (mPlaye, VLC)?

were the ape files created using different apps?

can you look at the codec details and compare playable and non-playable ones using VLC's codec information, the MediaInfo service menu or some other tool?

Edit by moderator: this is a taglib bug not an Amarok one
