Yes. The values are stored in the amarokrc file (there are easy ways to
get and set it).

The hard part will be coming up with a design that keeps it easy/doesn't
overwhelm people using the default embedded collection but doesn't make
it so complicated to access that people wanting the server setup can't
find it. Bonus points if it also displays enough text on there for them
to get it set up without having to go to our website (just needs room
for a short message explaining that they first have to run a "GRANT ALL
ON ........ " command on MySQL).
