If you mean this -

- then I saw it the moment I'd logged of IRC then.  We do agree that
it will spam, so it can't be a script that will work like the Last.fm
scrobbler.  Hence, gave the Track Love as the example.  More
appropriate :)

Ahh!  How didn't I notice this? I've used this client for sometime.
Or, it might be a recent feature. :)  I'll get the source code for
choqoK and understand it :).  We could plug it into the Amarok code if
we don't need too many modifications, or write it from scratch again.

I've read the wiki pages on the Script API, Scripting Howto 2.0 and
Scripted Services Tutorial 2.0.  I doubt this will be enough, but I
couldnt figure where to go after that.  So where do I go?

Thanx!
