It does, it is a plasma-widget, just not integrated in Amarok any
more, but you cn download it in the "Add new widgets..." oprion on the
plasma desktop.

You should have a more precise look at Amarok 2.0.2, because almost
all the features you are looking for are there, and a lot is
configurable. Amarok 2 is a whole new codebase, and all new things one
has to get used to...
Your MTP device shows up in the collection once it is connected, just
look closer...

Well, obviously you didn't even try *sigh*. Of course you can, there
is an import feature in the settings.
Next time you start a rant, know what you are talking about first...
