Not sure if proxy under Networking preferences works with Audioscrobbler or if it's only for streaming.

You said your user name is Sapta, is that typed in with the correct capitalization? Another user had at signs in their user name field and it worked, but maybe it doesn't work for passwords.

There's no point using any escaping strings for the password, though, since the string parser does not support any form of quoting or escaping. The only fix would be for the parser to be changed to scan for the last at sign after the password field begins.

That was just an example. My username is actually numerical (my college roll number). The password does contain 2 '@' however. Thanks for mentioning that escape and quotes are useless.

Right now, I have written it without quotes and escape, and it's working even though got a "connection error" at one point. No idea why it's working now. Thanks everyone.
