This has been part of the playlist since 2.0 was released IIRC. Either right 
click -> Remove from Playlist or use the icon at the bottom of the playlist.

Shuffle and repeat are under the Playlist menu. We're working on getting it into 
the main window, but the playlist will need a bit of a rethink before we will 
be able to manage it without cluttering the screen too much.

This is working at least in trunk. Never had call to test it before now so I 
don't know what its like in 2.1

Like what exactly? Because our audio is handled by phonon, a lot of the audio 
settings have moved to the global KDE settings.

We have lost a few features, but we haven't taken anything out of Amarok 
without careful consideration. There are features that we haven't been able to 
implement yet due to other restrictions. Like the graphic equaliser which, 
until recently was not supported by phonon. 

But if you take a look at 2.1, you'll find a great deal of new and interesting 
features, such as a big increase in the number of internet services that you 
can access right from within Amarok. And a new, more powerful scripting 
interface that will allow a whole new array of scripts to be written.

Amarok is very much alive =) It's just evolved.
