Summary0004907: MP3 Files Can't Be Dragged From Assets Into Stage/Navigator
Description

Currently, when an MP4/Video file is dragged from the Assets Panel, into the Navigator, or onto the Stage, it creates a MediaElement featuring the URI of the video file.

However, when the same operation is performed on an MP3/Audio file, the action is not permitted, and the user must first introduce a MediaElement Element, then fill out its 'Source' Property with the path of the audio file.

See attached video.


Repro Steps:

1) Download x1 MP3 Audio file of your choice from: https://pixabay.com/music/search/sample/ (or any other source of your choice)
2) Download x1 MP4 Video file of your choice from: https://pixabay.com/videos/ (or any other source of your choice)

3) Create a Studio Project featuring a MainPage.xaml, and place the two assets from Steps 1) and 2) into the Project directory, as to make them visible in Studio's 'Assets' Panel.

4) Click-and-Drag the MP4 video file from the Assets Panel into the Page's root Grid.
Observe how a MediaElement featuring the video file is populated.

5) Click-and-Drag the MP3 audio file from the Assets Panel into the Page's root Grid.
Observe how the same operation can't be performed.

Expected Results: Click-and-dragging an MP3 Audio file automatically creates a MediaElement with its associated path in the Element's 'Source' Property, just as happens with video files.

Playing sound through the MediaElement is not the recommeded approach, we offer the PlaySoundAction instead, or clients can implement their own action for custom sound systems.
