There's drag and drop support in streamtuner2 since 2.1.7, primarily meant for exporting individual stations into .XSPF or .PLS files, or dragging them into audio players.
There is also support for proper XDND payloads. However most BSD/Linux desktop applications support little more than STRING
or text/uri-list
file dragging. There's no standardization in or beyond that. Which is because nobody bothers to document anything. So as exception to the rule:

- The example payloads are abstracted here.
- The info ids are just Gtk-internal.
- Ordering doesn't reflect priority handling.
As said, only text/uri-list is used in practice. It doesn't allow actual streaming URLs being transferred. Instead streamtuner2 has to create temporary export files. And since this dumb approach doesn't allow any content-negotation, a preconfigured default playlist format will be used for temp files. (Defaults to XSPF for crashing Rhythmbox.)
Alternatively there's text/iri-list now (yes, why not go with the century?) and url/direct to get a direct streaming URL/IRL.
