Same as the previous bug, but with version numbers of iTunes. Can't connect to iTunes, doesn't start iTunes if it's not running. Shows a small splash screen and exits gracefully.
I can reproduce this on idleTunes 0.84 beta, iTunes 7.0.2.16 on Windows Vista.
I attached a debugger and found the problem was an OverflowException in ITunesXMLHandler when parsing Play Date from iTunes Music Library.xml. The XML looks like <key>Play Date</key><integer>3249905978</integer>. The maximum value for an int in .NET is 2147483648.
Nothing in the idleTunes code seems to be using the Play Date, so I guess this is a new field in the XML added in later versions of iTunes released after idleTunes.
Does anyone know if the project maintainer and/or the source code is still around? It is possible to decompile the released binary, fix this bug, and successfully run with iTunes 7.0.2.16, but it would be preferable to do this with the maintainer's blessing and the original source code.
If you would like to refer to this comment somewhere else in this project, copy and paste the following link:
Hope the maintainer/source code can be found as I would really like to see this manager in action. Unfortunately i have already updated to 7.0.2.16 so guess there is no point in trying to load the beta until fixed.
Keep up the good work guys.
Cheers

Just want to say that I put in the comment below about ex-tunes (my crude script). Now I can't remember why I didn't simply say, I created it, but I did. Now I feel better. -C

Yep, this program does not work with Itunes 7. Just hoping the authors will sort this issue pretty quick. Thanks!

I found a rather crude tool that does some of what idletunes does at http://www.ex-tunes.com (totally free and open source vbscript).

Hey,
my itunes will let me drag the song from limewire yet it says that is the wrong file code. What does that mean?

0.84a (alpha) fixes this problem for me.
