Drag-and-drop works, but I think mouse movement is an inferior way of
doing things. If a context menu was available, I could use the context
menu button available on most keyboards, or I could right click and use
the keyboard from there. Reaching for the mouse really is a last resort
for me as I find I could easily guide the song into the wrong list.
