Title: Can't connect to last.fm, MC crashes [Solved - Last.fm was the reason]
Post by: Soshanna on August 11, 2013, 01:59:38 am

I've been using MC for awhile now with last.fm running smoothly.  Today I signed out of last.fm by using the option Tool>Services>last.fm>Manage last.fm account>there was an option to delete last.fm account which I did so I could scrobble from another last.fm account.  (which is what I should have done according to what I read somewhere on this forum but unable to find it now)  ::)  Murphy's law.  >:(

Anyways that has created a mess of problems. I dont think that was the best thing to do, now I cant scrobble anything and when I go to Tool>Services>last.fm> Manage last.fm account > Connect to last.fm and I select that option I get a freeze (Not Responding) and when I try to close window, it crashes MC.

I tried this a couple times and thought maybe I needed to do a reinstall to get the settings back.  So I saved my library, did the whole uninstall, reboot, reinstall, restore library, and tried to sign in again with no luck.  I am thinking maybe I need to do another authorization from MC to last.fm but I have no clue how to generate that at this point.

I realize its only last.fm scrobbling and I see there isn't much support for last.fm problems on this forum but I am a VERY active member on last.fm and use the results I get from scrobbling for many music projects.  So if someone can help me with this problem, I would be most appreciative.   ;)

Had a somewhat similar problem that resolved itself around early Sunday Morning ( 1AM PST Aug 11)

In my case MC was able to connect to Last.fm and play a music stream, but MC would do so for only 30 seconds then disconnect from Last.fm and post a file-not-found message.  However, during the period of  MC/Last.fm downtime I was able to connect to Last.fm from Firefox and play the streams.

Am playing Last.fm on MC now, and no problems.

Mine just started working too.  That was weird, I thought Id give it another try before I gave up and when I started MC and started playing music it was scrobbling.  

All is fine now!!
