I totally agree, I don't want to spend time figuring out how to deal  
with scripts. But on the other hand if extensions were implemented in  
the same way as Firefox it would be a no brainer. Select plugins from  
a list, click install, boom and you are all set. Doing it in this way  
also keeps some code out of "amarok core".
