To be honest with you, this is the kind of highly specialized
micro-feature that we would never allow into Amarok proper. It's of
use only to a very small minority of users, and would bloat Amarok for
the rest of us.

However, implementing this as an Amarok 2 script and releasing it on
kde-apps.org would be perfectly fine and welcome :)
