Application crashes when playing a song without album metadata

[GoogleCodeExporter]

Everytime I try to run Scrobble Droid, just as the song is ending, I get a 
message that says 
'The application Scrobble Droid (process net.jjc1138.android.scrobbler) has 
stopped 
unexpectedly. Please try again.' Then my only option is to 'Force Close.' Could 
this have 
something to do with my settings? Before, it started force closing, it was 
telling me that my 
password was incorrect. I retyped it, tried reinstalling the application, even 
cleared my 
history and cookies, still having same problem. Help?

Thank you for your report.

It would be really useful if you could send me the log file from the phone, 
because
that tells me exactly why the crash happened. Unfortunately you have to connect 
the
phone to your computer and install a special driver to do this, so the process 
is a
bit laborious:

1) On the phone go to Settings / Applications / Development and switch on the 
option
"USB debugging".
2) On your PC download this file:
http://jjc1138.net/AndroidLogFetcher.zip
and unzip it to a directory somewhere.
3) Connect your G1 to the PC. The "Found New Hardware Wizard" should appear.
4) Select "No, not this time" / Next / "Install from a list or specific location
(Advanced)" / Next
5) Select "Search for the best driver in these locations" and "Include this 
location
in the search:" and then "Browse" and find wherever you unzipped the file above.
6) Click "Finish" and wait for the driver to install.
7) Run Scrobble Droid on your phone and play a song so that it crashes.
8) On your PC run the file "Fetch Log.cmd".
9) In a second or two that should generate a new file "Log.txt". Please e-mail 
me
that file (bugs at scrobbledroid.com).

If you do that then I should be able to track down the bug very quickly. Thank 
you
very much!

Caused by playing a track on an album that hadn't been recognized properly by 
the
music scanner.
