Then what about using assymetric cryptography? The script is signed using a 
secret key, and amarok is shipped with a hardcoded public key. If the digital 
signature of the script is invalid or the script has been altered by someone 
who doesn't know the secret key, then amarok refuses it. Yes, I know - sounds 
like TC :)
