    iPods don't support drag and drop.

    They do - sort of.

    I found that if you have iTunes open in a window and have another window open listing some MP3 files, you can drag them from that window onto the icon for the connected iPod in the iTunes window and they will be copied straight to the iPod without first having to import them into iTunes.

    This works on a Mac so don't know if it would work on a PC.
