Regarding the uninstall problem with this add-on: Someone posted in
this topic about another location of data for MediaMonkey: %APPDATA%\Local\VirtualStore\MediaMonkey.
I looked in the Scripts subdirectory and there was a copy of scripts.ini, which had an entry for ScrobblerDJ. So, I tried once again to uninstall ScrobblerDJ, and then manually removed the ScrobblerDJ entry from this file. Then I restarted MMW, but ScrobberDJ was still active (that is, when I tried to play, I got an error that the script could not be executed). I closed MMW, looked around, and found that the %APPDATA%\Roaming\MediaMonkey\Scripts\Scripts.INI still had a ScrobblerDJ entry. I manually removed that, and restarted: now, when I click Play, I do not get the error.
So now I believe I've got the script uninstalled, at last.
This was the first I've seen of this VirtualStore directory. A little research shows it to be a post-WindowsXP feature that, it seems, supports file writes by legacy operations to locations that once were accessible but in WinVista and beyond are protected.
