Console Amarok Controller
Source (link to git-repo or to original if based on someone elses unmodified work): Add the source-code for this project on opencode.net
This script will control Amarok from a command line.
New in V2.0:
You can now search for a song and play it!
I wrote this script because my Desktop PC is hooked up to my Stereo and I work from my laptop. So I SSH onto my Desktop PC and control Amarok via DCOP. I used to type each command by hand but I got tired quick, so I wrote this Script. I know it's simple but it works.
Only basic functions are available at the moment. I don't think I'll add any new features unless I personally need them. If you want anything added you can do it yourself or ask me to do it. I will most likely only add a feature if I think I will use it. Selfish... maybe but at least I am sharing this script with you.

Version 2.0:
You now have the ability to search your collection for a song, by Title, Album, Artist, or all 3.
Version 1.1:
The current track is now refreshed when the track is over or the track changes, and not every 10 seconds like in V1.0

Additionally, I get these messages:
"/home/rob/bin/console_amarok.sh: line 32: [: ==: unary operator expected"
after 7) Mute
"/home/rob/bin/console_amarok.sh: line 240: read: CHOICE: invalid timeout specification"
after q) Quit
Any ideas?

DCOP_COMMAND=" dcop --user `whoami` --all-sessions "
Then replace any occurrence within the script of dcop with $DCOP_COMMAND
By the way, this is a great script. Very useful :-)

Since I moved, I don't have a need for this script now, so I haven't been using it.
I'm glad to see that other people are using it.

Sorry about that... I should have thought of that.

I'm actually put an update soon, it now only refreshes the track name when the song is over instead of every 10 seconds.
