Drag itunes selection to the Desktop or elsewhere

I just accidently dragged a selection from iTunes to my Desktop, and the files appeared on the Desktop complete with names in the format that they are in in iTunes (mp3 » mp3; aiff » aiff, etc.)

It also works when dragging to a folder.

[robg adds: Yes, this is a basic hint, but in working with less-experienced Mac users, I was surprised at how many never thought to try this, perhaps given the way iTunes looks. iPhoto also works in this manner, though in my experience, more people seem to have discovered this on their own -- is there something more obvious about dragging a photo versus a song file?]
