It looks like a problem in the Last.FM Scrobbler addon, do you use the newest version, could you try to re-unstall it?

So far, 1626 has been quite stable, no crashes.
I can suggest one possibility behind that scrobbler crash. I was playing from MMW to the stereo, and at the same time fooling around with MMA, and I inadvertantly started playing from UPnP. But MMW automatically scrobbles songs that it serves up via UPnP -- which I don't think is such a good idea anyway: the player should be scrobbling, not the server. What if some guest is playing via my UPnP server? I don't want his private listens going into my scrobble history.
Anyway, having two scrobbling sources simultaneously could have been why I had two separate crashes from the scrobbler DLL. Maybe they were in contention for some resource.

I've not had issues with MMW scrobbling local and UPnP playback simultaneously (except once where local plays were not scrobbled). As no clients scrobble I'm happy MMW scrobbles UPnP plays (however I've suggested this should be optional in the past (maybe the option to Update play counter can already disable scrobbling)).

Just disable
Options -> Media Sharing -> <server> -> UPnP/DLNA server -> [x] Update Play Counter
this disables scrobbling too.

I've been having this problem (trying to close MM, doesnt, then freezes) for about 3 months (No addons or anything else added)..with all the bugs that MM has I didnt know where to start to explain it. I'm so glad somebody brought this up..Thx mcow..I always have to CTRL-ALT-DEL to close MM.
I have another issue that could be related. When I have tracks that are in a folder (a folder that mm doesnt scan) and I try playing them with MM, I click on them so that mm plays them. MM starts, does not play them and also freezes the folder where the tracks came from.
Are you also facing this mcow?

You still see this on build 1626?

Thank you for that! Very nice.
Stability has been excellent for the last few builds, Ludek. Thanks. I've fixed grunty bugs like that in the past and they're not much fun.
