Same happend to me when playing a song preview in Ubuntu One Music store and then trying to play a preview of another song. This happens every time I do this so it's easily reproducable.

Apport marked this bug as a duplicate of a private bug, so please make bug #926618 public, so it can be solved. This is a serious problem with the Ubuntu One music store. For now, I am removing duplicate status.

Unable to reproduce on prcise.
I have tried playing multiple tracks and switching to radio from a playing track and to normal music from a playing track.

However due to the fact that there is more than one user reporting issue I will set to confirmed and direct to the relivant team.

This crash occurs for me in Precise every (!) time I am trying to play a preview or sometimes even while browsing the Music Store.

I had this problem too in the past.

However, doing a quick test in quantal I was unable to trigger a crash. I randomly switched around in the Ubuntu One music store playing previews and switched to listening radio stations and back to the music store.

This triggered a crash before, but it works now for me.
