What kind of 'application' is it? Does it have a menu and windows?

Yes it has a window but that window is transparent and kept above my main applications dock icon. This is becos the user shud not know that there is a window placed over the dock icon, while drag n drop of itunes playlist and tracks.

Stop.

As I think we've said before, this is NOT how dragging things to your Dock icon is implemented. Trying to implement it this way will only result in your Dock icon being perceived as "broken".

A bit of investigation on my part suggests that accepting drags of iTunes tracks is pretty trivial to implement "correctly" - they're treated as files, as best I can tell. iTunes does not appear to make playlists available for inter-application drag; however, I may be mistaken, as my tools for testing this are kind of crude - someone correct me if I'm wrong.

In any case: The solution that you've come up is unnecessarily complicated, and won't work correctly.
