There was once a script that synced amarok playcounts from last.fm values,
but I think it was for 1.4.
The ideal way to deal with this would be to use a plugin-architecture for
things like tags and playcount (and possibly rating), and then the data can
be provided by and interface that abstracts either eg last.fm or the amarok
DB , or any other provider that keeps this kind of info.
With respect to ratings on last.fm I cheat and tag things "5stars" "4stars"
etc, though this is hardly ideal. There's also 'Love', which would seem to
match a 5 star rating, but that's not much use without other ratings.
Also, two way syncing of playcount from amarok to last.fm is a no-no if you
are scrobbling - you'd double count. One way syncing from lfm to Amarok is
sufficient given that Amarok scrobbles plays to lfm anyway.
2 way syncing of tags would be sweet, and I suspect could be achieved with a
script of some kind.

</div>I have a <a href="http://last.fm" target="_blank">last.fm</a> account that \
I've been using for years, and this<br> would be an almost perfect solution IF I \
could use those statistics<br> stored on <a href="http://last.fm" \
target="_blank">last.fm</a> in Amarok's dynamic playlists and automatic \
playlist<br> generator. But as far as I can tell, that's not possible. If \
Amarok<br> kept its local play count synced with my <a href="http://last.fm" \
target="_blank">last.fm</a>'s play count, and<br> also mirrored <a \
href="http://last.fm" target="_blank">last.fm</a> tags with local labels (both of \
these should<br> ideally be a two-way syncing), that would be great! But even \
then,<br> you can't store ratings on <a href="http://last.fm" \
target="_blank">last.fm</a> :(<br> <br>
