As simple as that! Activating the plugin did it, thanks. "Edit->Plugins"
didn't work, though, because the plugin was hidden - had to do it with
gconf-editor.

Now I can't wait to see track transfer to generic player devices! :)

I had a look at plugins/generic-player/rb-generic-player-source.c
and sources/rb-ipod-source.c. What I had to do is implement
impl_receive_drag and impl_paste functions plus some uri transformation
magic for impl_paste, right?

If no one else is working on this, I will give it a try...
