Abstract:
	One of the coolest features seen in many media players today is the 
ability to drag and drop MP3 files onto the media player's play list, and have 
those files added to the play list. Giving the user the ability to simply drag 
and drop files into an application allows the user to access multiple files 
faster then it would take to open those same files with an open file dialog. I 
couldn't find anywhere in Petzold's book, that talked about dragging and 
dropping files, so all my information on it has come from on line through both 
MSDN and a few other sources.
