I'm having some real problems backing up some lossless audio files. So
many get this error code. What is irritating with OS X is that it stops
the entire copying procedure because one file can't be read. It would
be so much better if a pop up window came up ASKing the user if they
want to skip this or not. Anybody know what (Error code -36) means?
And do lossless (ape and flac) files often have problems getting copied?

Any time you want to find out what a numbered error message means, head
over to http://appleerrorcodes.com. ; )

Error -36 happens to be an I/O error. You might take a look at your
system and console logs for more details.

From what, and to what, are you copying?

From a standard Sata 7200 rpm drive to a USB or Firewire (get the same
errors with either connection) external IDE drive. The problem is not
the destination I think. Its just not reading it properly. And EVERY
time its a lossless file.
