Unrelated, but I just noticed that in 3.28a my normal operation of drag-and-drop to load files directly from foobar2000 to Mp3Tag no longer works. I can still add to the file list with [Ctrl], but replacing the contents of an existing file list with new files via drag-and-drop no longer works as it did before. Is this expected and/or intended?
(If this post needs to be split into another thread, I'll be happy to oblige).

Can you please try again? I've just tried and it works without problems.

Hello @Florian,
I've narrowed down the culprit; the problem lies in my fb2k installation.
I'm using both the [SimPlaylist](https://www.foobar2000.org/components/view/foo_simplaylist) and [Facets](https://www.foobar2000.org/components/view/foo_facets) plugins for foobar, and in both playlist viewer windows is where the issue manifests. In the standard Playlist View drag-and-drop works perfectly fine.
Since these plugins haven't been updated since 2011, I won't be asking for a compatibility fix from your end, nor will be expecting one.
Thank you for your time. 👍

**3.28c** (2025-02-10)
- CHG: added support for writing covers of type Artist, Media, and Icon for MP4 via Nero tags to improve compatibility with other apps.
- CHG: moved configuration options to top of Tag-Panel context menu. ([#67393](https://community.mp3tag.de/t/67393))
- CHG: added workaround for drop sources that don't support the link drop effect (e.g., iTunes). ([#67363](https://community.mp3tag.de/t/67363), [#67368](https://community.mp3tag.de/t/67368))

The drop sources workaround also fixed the issue in fb2k when using those specific (outdated) plugins.
