> BTW even after renaming, drag-n-drop onto MediaPlayer still fails. It's
the double-click, which causes a Tracker "Identify"--which you can do
instead of double-clicking--that fixes it. But still, I think MediaPlayer
should be able to play it without Tracker having identified it first, no?
I quite agree here, I also think that Media Player being expose to files
coming from anywhere should try to force an type identify and not just
relying on the current type, if any, before rejecting it because it's not
a audio/* or video/* ones.
