I found the old ruby version of score default in the svn, and the algorithm is 
pretty simple.  I had a play with it on Sunday (openSuse servers were down, 
and I could not update my older version of Amarok at home )

I have worked out how to set a new score for a track, and connect to the 
signal for track-changed (and track-finished), and how to determine the 
currently playing track. 

The problem I have at the moment, is that I cannot work out the percentage of 
the track just finished, as Engine.currentTrack is the new track, and 
Engine.trackPosition is also the new tracks position (0).

I have tried saving the old track, so I know what track was playing, by using 
currentTrack, and keeping a copy.  This works well, except that there is no 
property of previous play percent, and nothing else like it.

I would be happy if I could work out a way of quering Engine.trackPosition on 
a regular basis and save the data to a variable for when trackChanged occurs.

Any hints would be great...
