If you want to access Amarok's MySQL Embedded database, you can do
this very nicely like this:

Activate the "Script Console" script in the Script Manager. Now you
can access many parts of Amarok's API, including the collection. Try
this:

Amarok.Collection.query( "SELECT dir FROM directories" )

Then click "Execute Code" and watch the result appear in the upper
half of the dialog :)
