Personally, I'm extremely happy that SC doesn't "manage" my music my
library. Knowing that it only has read-only access to my library
(except playlists, although I could lock that down too if I wished)
means I can turn over the remote or keyboard or whatever to friends and
family and know that they can't muck anything up and send me scrambling
for my backup disk. 

Software like mp3tag, MusicIP, iTunes, Media Monkey, J River, etc does
all or most of the tasks listed here. Putting it all in SC just means
bloat. I'm sure others will continue to prefer the Swiss army knife
approach, and I don't imagine I'll persuade them otherwise. But imho
you can't beat a proper knife, screwdriver, and corkscrew.

Btw, on the save-to-a-different-playlist request, check out the
Playlist Manager plugin. It doesn't do exactly what the OP wants, but
it gets you part way there.
