Can anyone tell me why iTunes don't let me drag&drop DTS files?

Question

hello,
can anyone tell me what should I do to be able to play DTS audio files with iTunes (Windows 7).
I connected my PC (via optical output) to a 5.1 receiver and everything is ok until I try to drag&drop DTS audio files to iTunes and try to playing them, with VLC ther is no problem playing those files.

DTS files also will not play on iPod, iPad, iPhone and Apple TV. I am afraid I see little chance Apple will every add support to iTunes for DTS files.
The best I can suggest is that if you have an Apple device and hence need to use iTunes, you can either convert the DTS files, or use iTunes for your other media and Windows Media Player for the DTS files. You could also set WMP to be able to play the MP3, AAC, or Apple Lossless files you have in iTunes.
Note: WMP is not really up to the job of handling AIFF, WAV, or Podcast files.
Yes it really is possible to get WMP to play Apple Lossless files. I have my entire collection in Apple Lossless and with the right addons I have WMP12 in Windows 7 able to play Apple Lossless, to put them in the right Music section, and to also automatically read the meta-tags in Apple Lossless files including the embedded artwork.
By using both iTunes and WMP you could have iTunes handle the syncing to your Apple device, and use WMP to play files.
