Dragging files over to an iTunes playlist does not work properly

What steps will reproduce the problem? 1. Have Clementine and iTunes opened

2. Select some files in Clementine's playlist oder library
3. Drag them over to a playlist in iTunes What is the expected output? What do you see instead? I expect all of the selected items to be added to the iTunes playlist. Instead, the first item appears as a radio stream in iTunes and therefore won't work. The rest of the selected items will work. What version of the product are you using? On what operating system? r2507 on Mac OS X 10.6.6 Please provide any additional information below. When I drag a selection of 8 files to an empty TextEdit window, the following content appears:

file://localhost/Volumes/music/Feed%20Me/Feed%20Me's%20Big%20Adventure/01%20-%20Feed%20Me%20-%20White%20Spirit.mp3

Is the first song that doesn't work already playing in Clementine by any chance?

No, it always happens to the first song in the selection. It doesn't matter if a song is currently playing or not.

That could be a failure in iTunes, too. it thinks, the link is a URL so it adds a stream, but should see the "file://" link and import that.

what happens if you drag a list of files somewhere else, say, a file manager or the desktop? I think Windows, Mac, Gnome, KDE, whatever behave differently here. Some see the "file://", some think it's text and some see a weblink.
