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).
