Stream Corrupted Exception

[AkisV]

Hi I'm having a Stream Corrupted Exception when I'm trying to read from a file:

Here is my code for reading the file:

private String [] loadChordsVector()
    {
        try
        {
            FileInputStream fis = new FileInputStream(FILENAME);
            ObjectInputStream ins = new ObjectInputStream(fis);
            int records  = 0;
            boolean read = true; 
           
           while((Chord)ins.readObject() != null)
            {

                Chord savedChord = (Chord)ins.readObject();//The line for which I get the exception

                chords.add(savedChord);
            }

            ins.close();
            
            System.out.println("Records " + records);
            String [] chordNames = new String[chords.size()];

            for(int i = 0; i < chords.size(); i++)
            {
                Chord chord = chords.get(i);
                chordNames[i] = chord.getName();
            }
            return chordNames;
        }
        
         catch ( EOFException endOfFileException )                 
        {               
              return null;
        } 
        
        catch (ClassNotFoundException ex) {
            Logger.getLogger(GFriendView.class.getName()).log(Level.SEVERE, null, ex);
            String[] dummy = {"Tesssst"};
            return dummy;
        }
        catch(IOException ioException)
        {
            ioException.printStackTrace();
            JOptionPane.showMessageDialog(null, "Error opening File","Error",JOptionPane.ERROR_MESSAGE );
            String[] dummy = {"Test"};
            return dummy;
    }

And here is the code with which I save and append to the file:

private void SaveActionPerformed(java.awt.event.ActionEvent evt) 
{
       Vector<PointOnFret> vectorToSave = gPanel1.getFretPointsVector();
       String chordName = JOptionPane.showInputDialog("Enter chord name");
       Chord  chordToSave = new Chord();
       chordToSave.setName(chordName);
       chordToSave.setPositions(vectorToSave);

     try{
            FileOutputStream fis = new FileOutputStream(FILENAME,true);
            ObjectOutputStream out = new ObjectOutputStream(fis);
            out.writeObject(chordToSave);
            out.flush();
            out.close();
     }
     catch(IOException ioException)
     {
        JOptionPane.showMessageDialog(null, "Error opening File","Error",JOptionPane.ERROR_MESSAGE );
     }

    }

Can you see something wrong? How can this be fixed?

Pls help
