This Amarok script allows for automatic saving of playlists in a specified directory, and also offers the option to easily load the most recent playlist.
One of the main benefits of this script is that it solves the problem of Amarok's non-soft shutdown. When you shut down your PC, GNOME can abruptly end Amarok, which could cause the playlist to get stuck in the previous soft-killing session of Amarok. With Autosave Playlist + Load latest Playlist, however, you can easily recover your playlist upon Amarok's restart.
In terms of changes, the default folder for playlist storage has been updated to $HOME/.amarok-playlists, as many distributions use tmpfs, which automatically clears /tmp content after a reboot. This script has fairly simple requirements: you need Amarok 1.4 to use it. Overall, Autosave Playlist + Load latest Playlist is an excellent script that can make playlist management for Amarok users a lot easier. With its impressive automation features and intuitive design, this script is definitely worth a try!
