Dang it… twice tonight! Pressed ‘send’ without typing anything… sorry.
Hi!
So because ONE SINGLE part of openSUSE doesn’t work properly, you’re going to
throw it out and never touch it again? GOSH! What do you do when your
ashtray gets full in your car? or a headlamp burns out? Wow.
I don’t scrobble. And have to admit that “scrobble” is one heck of a name…
search google for it and you get last.fm… but you get another meaning too…
http://www.google.com/search?q=scrobble
Results 3 & 4.
Wow! Great name choice!!
Looking at the log fragment you posted was informative… specifically, this
line:
> [22:23:39] AudioScrobblerConnectionError: AudioScrobblerConnectionError:
> NETWORK: 111 Connection refused
So something didn’t work… let’s start at the top of the pile and work down
to specifics…
… a search for your problem returns this:
http://www.last.fm/help/faq?category=Scrobbling#181
Which states that last.fm doesn’t support third party applications themselves
and you’ll have to go to the authors for assistance…
So we search for the same issue… but in relation to ‘audioscrobbler.py’,
which is being used to connect to last.fm.
We find some active bug reports:
https://bugs.launchpad.net/exaile/+bug/150607
and this one, which matches your error almost exactly:
https://bugs.launchpad.net/exaile/+bug/136117
The comments listed are amazingly informative… here’s one from a
‘johannes’…

This is what happens when Last.fm’s submission server is down (which seems to
be the case right now).
====quote
GOSH!! Maybe last.fm is having a problem and you just simply can’t connect?
Hmmm, let’s check…
http://www.last.fm/help/faq?category=The+Last.fm+Software#182
That webpage answers the burning question of “What can I do if my software
has stopped scrobbling my music?”… let’s read it!
Hey, item #2… gives a direct link to a status page… gee, they even
provide up-to-date status of their servers and services…
http://status.last.fm/
Right now, it says ‘unknown, unknown, unknown’… so maybe they having
troubles lately?
{shrug} gee, guess maybe the servers handling the scrobbler connections are
having troubles, who knew?
But that’s not a reason to throw out a whole operating system.
Hope this helps…
