My winamp is crashing frequently these days. Also getting Division By Zero errors aswell. Im not sure if its caused by audioscrobbler. I haven't figured out what exactly makes it crash.
I'm using winamp5, think I may have to go back to 2.x but the media library is dead handy.

Does anybody else have problems like these?

Yup, happens to me a fair bit.
Although it's usualy ok unless I'm in the plugin settings/viewing the scrobbler log. Then it craps itself.
Winamp5/ latest plugin.

Used to get the same thing with the older Windows Media pluging, since I upgraded to the latest one though it seems fine.

Yep since I got 1.1.8 I haven't a problem so go get it!

I have this turned off now, because every time the Audioscrobbler site goes down, Winamp keeps crashing on me, and the Audioscrobbler site goes down all the time.

Anyoen else had this problem?

Makaveli

Yep, happens alot.
Could see it being a hell of lot more annoying if you're on broadband, but on 56k I can just disconnect, that or use windows media player.
Even when it's not down, it tends to not increment tracks played at all and so a lot of songs just get lost.

PiE

It has it's problems, but if you don't pay attention to it and just check every few days or so it's grand.

My Winamp doesn't crash when the site's down, it just all goes to the log file. Are you using the latest build?

Makaveli

I've updated to v1.1.8 build 612 I think it is now.
It kept crashing with 1.1.7 even with the site working.

Jim

Works perfectly with iTunes.

I'm having no trouble with winamp and 1.1.7 ... i can't see 1.1.8 anywhere on the site

mr_angry

1.1.8 is in the news section, about 4 posts down. I was having the same problem with 1.1.7 - consistent crashing. The new version has fixed all of that though.

Sir Digby Chicken Caesar

a friend of mine and I were just discussing Dispatch last week, but I haven't been able to find any of their stuff other than "walk with you".. and now theyre #1 onn the boards list

I assume they're worth checking out some more then?

Jim

Tis all Snowman's fault. Whoever he may be.

Yes, Dispatch are indeed awesome. Awesome to the max.

If anyone wants 1-listen-then-delete "samples" of them, it can be arranged.

Sir Digby Chicken Caesar

heh, yeah they're bloody amazing easily one of my all time favourite bands and I've only started listening to them recently.

bang bang is a ****ing brilliant album

- Seems to be adding recent tracks but not generating stats etc, does it normally take this long (3 days)...

The only annoying thing about this is the way random artists sometimes pop up in your profile. Avril Lavigne appears when I was playing my personal radio today. I quickly told her to f-ck off.

It is good though. But if I hear Boards of Canada or Radiohead again when listening to the radio in LastFm I'll scream.

The weekly charts are generated every Sunday afaik, and the Top Artists and Songs lists are done every couple of hundred of tracks you listen to.

Makaveli

There is currently a backlog of 7.5 million songs to be processed.
So track totals are wrong too, and it's slowing everything up.
3 days, I wouldn't be complaining mine hasn't updated in 15 and some people haven't updated since last month.

Sir Digby Chicken Caesar

march 7th for me..

bringitdown

Yes have just noticed the stats page http://www.audioscrobbler.com/development/graphs.php

7.5 million...

/Neo

Whoa.

Jim

I find the whole thing very interesting. Was having a conversation with a friend of mine about it. I think that when bands are deciding if it would be worth their while to play in a particular country they shouldn't look at the charts or record sales, they should look at the scrobbler country chart, or some equivilant.

PiE

Yep, AS will be sold for a f_ckload of money in a year or two.

Sir Digby Chicken Caesar

\o/

they just updated my top artists list, and top tracks

disturbingly enough the top 5 hasn't changed order at all.. they've all gone up nearly exactly the same amounts
