Oh, what I would like to do is start  amarok when I am away with a 
different db. this would get me around the worst part of the problem(the 
"full"database being overwritten with the info from the sd card when I 
listen away from home), but would also let me potentially merge the two 
databases and keep a track of all of my listening history.

thanks again
