When dragging files from iTunes, iTunes sends the following drag flavors

  phfs (kDragFlavorTypePromiseHFS)
  rWm1 (kDragPromisedFlavorFindFile)
  Hpfl
  itun

I can't find any reference to the last two on the web, so I assume they
are private flavors.

In a Carbon application I solved the problem by handling the
kDragPromisedFlavorFindFile flavor, which worked quite well.  How do I
do this in a Cocoa app though?  I can't find any NS*PboardType that
seems to relate to it.

Accepting the file promise is not what I want; I don't want to create a
new file, but reference the existing file in the iTunes library.

Any ideas?

I think you want to have a look at Tech Note 1085 <http:// developer.apple.com/technotes/tn/tn1085.html>. It looks like iTunes is mimics the behavior of Find File described in there. Which kinda- sorta makes sense. Find File and that tech note established and then documented a mechanism by which query results can be dragged, and iTunes' file manipulation does kind of fall under the umbrella of (updateable) queries rather than being a first class file system in its own right.
