Stand-alone quodlibet script

I love quodlibet and have a big collection of music in it. Some time ago I wanted to transcode some big lossless files into the more mobile-friendly ogg format and wanted to query quodlibet for the songs. This is an example of a script that can access the quodlibet database and doesn't need X. It only searches and loops over the results, nothing fancy.
