Package: xmms-scrobbler Version: 0.3.6-1 Severity: normal When an incorrect username/password is supplied to the plugin, it continues to resubmit apparently indefinitely (at a rate of once every 1-2 seconds) until xmms is stopped. Extract of log file:

IMO the plugin should flag an error by means of a pop-up window, and disable retries immediately after receiving an incorrect username/password error.
