New idea for dynamic playlist

So i have to say im a fan of libraries like iTunes, Rhythmbox and most music
apps use.
I like these apps for one thing: they allow me to be lazy and not to care
about a playlist.
So my basic problem in Amarok is: i create a playlist of a band that i like
atm and after all songs are played i have to switch back to amarok to search
in my large collection to add the next songs which takes some time with 27k
songs.
When i used those library based players i didnt care cause there was music
anyway. I just selected a startpoint and i didnt have to change it unless a
band which i didnt like showed up. Back in 1.4 i used to load my entire
collection for this into my playlist.
After some discussion on IRC i guess we found the solution for the problem:
What if we had a some kind of dynamic playlist or option where you can set,
that after the playlist ended, it appends all of the albums of the next artist
in the alphabet to the playlist. Some kind of autoadd. And if you dont like
the next band you can click on some button which loads the albums of the next
artist into the playlist.
Two things would be achieved:
Support my lazyness and dislike of playlists
and
Providing a library like feature which keeps the playlist small
