A more detailed description, using numbered steps
1. Launch Spotify
2. Launch iTunes

What I expected to happen
iTunes launches successfully, Spotify is still working.

What actually happened
Spotify icon starts bouncing. When clicked, a dialog "Internal Error" appears: "An uncaught exception was raised. <..>". I can click "Show details" which gives me the exception trace I have pasted above. Note that I haven't even started playing anything in iTunes - just launched it. Also, Spotify crashes again whenever I click on iTunes (activate it).

My Operating System
OS X 10.9.4

My Spotify version
0.9.12.10.g89b2a4fc

My internet provider and country
Virgin Media, UK

Same thing here!

1. Launch Spotify
2. Open iTunes Window

3. Boom.... Spotify keeps playing and the app crashes all the time

OS X 10.10.1 with Spotify 0.9.15.27.g87efe634
