Does your friend have the latest version of iReal b installed?
(currently v2.8)
If so, then you could try another email address or email application, sometimes the song code can get corrupted.
An alternative is for you to upload the song or playlist to our Sandbox here at the forum. It is a temporary place for transferring songs to others (we delete the posts from time to time) and your friend can download from there.
