Start mysql when starting amarok

I would like to only start mysql when amarok starts instead of it running as a deamon.
How would I go about this?
I was thinking a script or alias but need some help writing one as mysql needs to be started as root, and amarok as my user. So far I have come up w/

sudo /etc/rc.d/mysqld start | amarok

but amarok starts before I can enter password for sudo and my databased is not loaded.
Also is there a way to stop mysqld when amarok shuts down?
