Comment 9 for bug 423145

Folks, this might be a more fundamental issue, since the maximum number of open files is limited by default to 1024 on the system.

We from the Amarok team had this bug report:

https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=211026

and this can be solved by adding the following lines to /etc/security/limits.conf

* soft nofile 16384
* hard nofile 16384

BTW, the same will happen on a Fedora system, which has the same limitation. Seems we inherit a limitation from the nineties here...

Please try this out.
