context menu item that adds songs to vlc playlist

I wrote a desktop file that adds a context menu item under Actions.
The item is : Add To VLC Playlist.
Copy and paste the code into a text file and call it vlc_addtoservicemenu.desktop.

[Desktop Entry]
Actions=AddToPlayList;
Type=Service
ServiceTypes=KonqPopupMenu/Plugin
MimeType=all/all;

[Desktop Action AddToPlayList]
Exec=vlc --started-from-file --playlist-enqueue %F
Name=Add To VLC PlayList
Icon=vlc

Once you have made the file copy it as root to /usr/share/kde4/services/ServiceMenus/
Now you can right click on a song, find Actions, and click on "Add To VLC Playlist" for a completely random playlist.
Oh, this is for KDE!!
