You're not alone there. I also used this very often (play some songs and
stop after X if going to sleep and so on).
I hope there will be something like that then at least as script/plugin.
I was already a bit afraid as i heard there won't be postgres and mysql
with version 2. Is this sure yet and if so has sqlite speed up? (I
feared this for pg but as there are quite some users with mysql i hoped
at least this will stay).

Anyway i don't want to lament the whole mail i'm really looking forward
to Amarok 2. Keep up the good work and thanks for this nice piece of
software.
