That's great point and something I was quite surprised at these past two 
weeks.  Two weeks ago, I decided that I had enough statistics after two years 
that I could start relying on smart playlists and dynamic mode a little more 
and I am rarely disappointed.  I even let amarok make a playlist every 
morning for my portable player (iAudio X5).  

The only thing I'd like to do now is be able to update my stats at the end of 
the day, like you can update last.fm.  I even started to write a script to 
use the last.fm .scrobbler.log file, but I ran into some issues that meed 
more time to figure out.

Anyway, long rant, hopefully someone found this amusing :)
