Please run lafilefixer from dev-util/lafilefixer and try again.
which version of amarok?
(In reply to comment #2) > which version of amarok? Doesn't seem to be version related, the error occurs with amarok-1.4.10_p20090130-r2 and amarok-1.4.10-r2
I emerged dev-util/lafilefixer, ran lafilefixer --justfixit and emerged amarok again. This has fixed the issue.
