iTunes Status Issue?

[bushidounohana]

When using the new built-in iTunes status with Adium 1.0 (and iTunes 7.0.2), I ran into a slight issue when I rapidly cycle through tracks in iTunes. A dialogue box pops up with the following message:

"Rate limiting error.

The last action you attempted could not be performed because you are over the rate limit. Please wait 10 seconds and try again."

The status seems to change without issue (at least by the time I'm able to get back to Adium). The error does not occur at any other time, though I can always induce the error by simply rapidly cycling through tracks in iTunes.

There is nothing we can do about that. You are only allowed to do things over IM so often, and if you change your status, send too many messages, or look at too many profiles you reach that limit. Every time you change a song it updates your status. You either need to cycle through your music differently (possibly scrolling to the song you want, instead of rapidly pressing "next") or change the status when you know you are going to rapidly change. Sorry, but there is not really much we can do here.

That's fair enough! Just thought I'd post it ... I've been using Adium with various iTunes status extras prior to the update without any problems.

Thank you!

It occurs to me now, I've never experienced the issue because the client has never had the nifty instant status update feature.

You mean I can't just keep clicking "Next"?

Thanks again!
