Hi Martin!
Thanks for the heads up. Yes, anything you drag over any of the FCP
UI, we'll look at and try to import. Why wait for the drag-drop?
I agree it is gross. If you can send me the bug number I'll gladly
comment it so the ITunes guys don't have to puzzle over it.
Thanks,
Helena

I've just filed a report on this and while I guess there probably
aren't too many other developers using iTunes and FCP together it
might be useful to have on record.
For a while, we've had an issue with our Loader product where
dragging a track from iTunes onto Loader results in FCP misbehaving
during playback. The playhead doesn't move and the timecode display
and audio meters don't update. This only happens from iTunes -
dragging a file from the Finder onto Loader is perfectly fine.
Interestingly, dragging a source clip from Browser to Viewer always
seems to reset FCP and cures the issue. Double-clicking a source
clip to load it into the Viewer does not reset FCP in the same way
and the issue remains.
So after much head scratching and going around in circles, in
desperation I just wondered what would happen if I moved the Loader
window to my right monitor. Success. This time dragging a track from
iTunes didn't cause these playback issues. What's different? I don't
have FCP windows on my right monitor...
So it turns out that dragging an track from iTunes anywhere over the
FCP UI causes this issue and by its design, Loader is designed to
sit over the Browser window. So every single time users were
dragging from iTunes to Loader, they were crossing the FCP UI and
firing the problem. Cue huge forehead slap!
