Description:
An amarok script that monitors the playlist, and, when it's finished, repopulates it with a random album from the collection. Differently from amarok's built-in "random album" mode, you don't need to keep the whole collection in the playlist; so when you add new stuff to the collection the script will automatically pick it up, and it's easy to manually enqueue songs into the current playlist without the "random mode" triggering whenever the current album finishes playing.
This script is inspired and very loosely based on the randomalbum.py script for amarok 1.4, available at the following URL:

Changelog:
* Version 1.0:
. some tweaking to the monitoring code to make the script behave better in amarok 2.4.
* Version 0.9:
. monitor track changes, so that skipping the last track on a playlist will also make the script load a new album. Suggested by kronos003 (irc.freenode.net).
* Version 0.8:
. add support for genre filtering (contributed by Ghislain Mary)
* Version 0.7:
. minor update to work around an issue where playback wouldn't start when loading a new album. Delay the start of the playback a little to let amarok's UI properly refresh.
* Version 0.6:
. persist the list of played albums so that the same album isn't played after restarting amarok.
. if running in amarok 2.3.1, respect the "stop playing after current track" setting.
* Version 0.5:
. fix an issue with path filtering not doing what it was supposed to do in some cases
. remove some code that caused the script to freak out when stopping playback when the last track of a playlist was active.
* Version 0.4:
. Reworked the SQL queries; they should work better on databases that did not look like mine.
. Added option to filter the albums being loaded according to a string (matched against the album path).
* Version 0.3:
. Add new action to enable / disable the playlist monitor.
* Version 0.2:
. Updated to work with amarok 2.1. Hasn't been tested with 2.0.2...
* Version 0.1:
Initial version. What works:
. loading and enqueueing a random album.
Known issues:
. the playlist sometimes doesn't repaint correctly after an update. Clicking somewhere on the playlist fixes it (looks like an Amarok problem).
. only tested on my setup, so I don't know how it will work with collections spanning different devices, etc.
