Audioscrobler crashing iTunes on OSX Snow Leppard

Since the recent update to Last.fm, I have been experiencing constant iTunes crashes when trying to make changes to the song titles on CDs so they show the way I like before scanning the CD onto my computer.

It is now virtually impossible to do when I try, to the point where I am seriously considering removing Last.FM from my computer so I can keep on using iTunes without issues. Even quitting Last.FM before doing the changes doesn't change the issue, I still get a crash and the crash report says 'iTunes quit unexpectedly while using the AudioScrobbler plugin'

Any idea of what is going on?

Thanks

having the same problem. iTunes crashes every time the track changes on cd.
no problems when the track changes when listening from library.

what should I do?

also having the same problem with CDs playing in iTunes with the Audioscrobbler plugin.

MacBook Pro OS X 10.6.8 (Snow Leopard) 2.53 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo
iTunes 10.4.1
Last.fm version 1.5.4.28012

Same problem here. The automated report going out to iTunes says it's due to the Audioscrobbler plugin.

I understand bugs happen, but it's really frustrating to see this lots of people commenting on this issue in this thread and others without a word from Last.fm. Is this on your radar of things to do?

same issue here
what you can do (pending a proper solution) is open itunes in safe-mode when listening to cd's: press option+command while opening itunes, you'll get a warning that all plug-ins have been temporarily disabled, press "continue" and you can play cd's

Having the same problem here with snow leopard & itunes 10.4.1.

Just a quick follow-up to my last post. Since for my purposes I only occasionally listen to discs, I have resorted to moving AudioScrobbler.bundle out of the iTunes Plug-ins folder when listening to discs. This lets me at least listen to the CD. When I'm listening to my regular iTunes library or last.fm, I can move the plugin back into that folder to track my listens.

Far from ideal, but since Last.fm haven't even added this bug to their list of known issues (http://www.last.fm/forum/34905/_/605040), I thought I'd post it up here in case anyone else finds it useful.

How do you remove the plugin?

thanks,

Matt

Assuming your Mac is set up similarly to the way mine is, you go to ~/youruserfolder/Library/iTunes/iTunes Plug-ins/ and move AudioScrobbler.bundle out of the plugins folder. I just move it from the plugins folder to the iTunes folder, and then move it back when I've finished listening to CDs.

Same problem here...
I think a bug like this should be solved or at least get an answer from Last.fm.

My specs:

Mac OS 10.6.8
iTunes 10.5
Last FM 1.5.4.28012

I'm experiencing the same problem.

OSX 10.6.8
iTunes 10.2.2
Last.fm 1.5.4.28012

Edit:

I found a fix for this problem. As others have mentioned, simply move the AudioScrobbler.bundle file out of your ~/User/Library/iTunes/iTunes Plug-ins/ folder. After removing the file I am able to scrobble from CD or my library with no errors.

I've just moved it up a directory (into Library/iTunes). As KingCoffey above pointed out, scrobbling still works.
