Unexpected CPU usage

[GoogleCodeExporter]

While listening to music I noticed that scrobble droid continuously does 
something in the background, cpu usage around 1-4%. I was under the 
impression that it only needed to log what track was played when it changes. 

Maybe this is just how the music notifications work on android and I can live 
with it. Just thought it looked a bit curious.

The normal way that Scrobble Droid works is that it waits for notifications 
about the
changing tracks, but sometimes that isn't completely reliable, because at the 
end of
a playlist the music app doesn't send a notification that the last song stopped.

For that reason Scrobble Droid also uses a timer and polls the music app every 
minute
to check if it is still playing. I imagine that the CPU usage you're seeing is 
from
that timer. There might be a bug that's causing it to check more often that it
should, though, so I'll have a look with a profiler next time I'm working on 
the app.

Thanks for the report.
