AFAIK the patch hasn't been applied to the ubuntu package (which is all for the best, since it was just a quick fix without any regard for correctness).
The patch fixed the crash and I've used the patched xmms-scrobbler since last november up to last week without a hitch. You have to know how to patch and compile Ubuntu source packages to use it, and you have to either modify the package version or put a hold on the package to keep apt-get from downgrading the package every time you make an update. Meanwhile I've move on from xmms to audacious under feisty. Might be a good alternative. -- Certain ID3 tags can crash xmms when xmms-scrobbler is enabled. https://launchpad.net/bugs/34249 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
