A GSoC Idea

[Nikolaj Hald Nielsen]

Without being an expert on the topic, I think this sounds quite
interesting. As the Smart and Dynamic Playlist functionality has not
really been implemented for Amarok 2 yet, you could potentially have a
lot of influence on the implementation, making your ideas fit
naturally instead of being grafted on later.
