I'm trying to write a script that will stop the previous playlist, and start a new one without further intervention.  I plan to put this on a cron job to go off at 5am weekdays. (I listen to delta and theta music during the night, and want it to switch to a theta/bell/alpha series around wake-up time.)

thus far I have:

amarok --stop
amarok --append "/My Documents/My Music/alarm.m3u"

This succeeds in stopping what's playing, and pulling up the new list, but it then requests input as to how to add the songs, and should it play these first. Are there further switches I've not yet found that will achieve the goal?  Is there a way to set the Music Manager to default to "Start playing the first newly added song"  ??

correction:  it is not pulling up the new list

Music Manager 1.4.3 (which I understand is Amarok?)
