Drag and drop for audio files not working

I purchased some Shokz OpenSwim MP3 headphones to be able to listen to music and podcasts while swimming. The technology is allegedly simple - connect to my MacBook Pro, drag and drop my audio files onto the OpenSwim drive on my desktop. However I am unable to even grab my downloaded podcast files. Meanwhile when I try to drag music files only some of them (about 5%) transfer. The others bounce straight back to iTunes. These headphones can take MP3, WMA, FLAC, WAV & AAC. I've checked the file info for the tracks I'm trying to transfer and they're AAC. Any help appreciated.

Hi, thanks for that suggestion. Strangely, when I ctrl+click I don't get an option to Show In Finder, however if I hit Download and THEN drag (not from the downloads folder or any other location, just the same track as it appears in Music) - it copies across fine. Possibly that was the obvious thing to do from the start but I thought as I'd paid upfront for the tracks long ago I could straight off drag them around where I wanted to.
