What features are missing that you used pre 1.x client?

What features are missing that you used pre 1.x client?

I am compiling a list of features (in no order of importance) that you see missing from the new 1.x client. Please list features you used in the client pre version 1.0 and are now missing. I'll start by listing some that I am missing or have noticed:

 

- Searching withing a playlist (Ctrl + F)

- Minimize/Close to tray

- Specifying location and and size of Spotify cache

- Resizing columns in playlist

- Taskbar name change, song playing missing. Static "Spotify Free" and "Spotify Premium" adds no value.

Concerning playlist/folder management:

- Adding albums as playlists in (sub)folders of the main playlist tree (very annoying!!!)

- Creating new folders with Ctrl+Shift+N

- Deleting playlists and folders with DEL

- Renaming playlists and folders with F2

 

Removed features:

- The devices tab (which I used to manage the offline content on my phone)

- Apps are gone

 

Slightly sarcastic:

- Ability to start the client in less than 15 seconds

- Ability to view more than 5 songs in a playlist without scrolling (too large fonts, bad usage of screen space)

The big one for me, like the one that made me sign up for Google Play Music, was the ability to paste into Spotify playlist from an outside source. For obvious reasons regarding Spotify's lackluster shuffle feature, I rolled my own shuffled playlists by using a spreadsheet and then randomizing the list. I'd paste that back into Spotify into work-day sized playlists. Without the ability to paste from my spreadsheet into Spotify, I have no (easy) way to do that now, and that alone pretty much forced me to consider my other options. I mean, who decided that removing the universal ability to cut and paste was a step in the right direction?
