This has also been (mostly) supported in Rhythmbox[1] & Banshee for quite some time, via the .is_(audio|media)_player file. I'd guess that Amarok is also reading these files? I'm more familiar with Banshee than Rhythmbox, but I'm fairly sure both will detect removable storage with an .is_(audio|media)_player file as a generic DAP, and support the “drag a playlist to the DAP” workflow you're after. There's currently no tool I know of to generate the .is_(audio| media)_player file, but I believe this would be a pretty simple Nautilus extension to write. The more advanced parts of your proposed interface - transcode when space is tight, multiple policies for transcoding, etc, would need to be implemented, but the basics should work right now.
