Drag and Drop to Open Files No Longer Works
The drag and drop method to open audio files in Song Surgeon now longer works in Apple's

It is a code architectural issue - and there is currently no solution for it. It will be fixed when version
5 is released down the road. For now, you will have to use the File >> Open button.
