bind .drop_target ...

should probably be

bind $::dropbutton ,,,

The examples use of .drop_target is confusing when used with the tkdnd::drop_target command

Thanks. But that is a typo from my use of sounds. My actual code
is this:

#bind .drop_target <<Drop>> {puts %D; return %A}
bind $::dropbutton <<Drop>> {p.playwav /path/to/sound/file.wav}

I deleted the line that uses sound from my example and uncommented
the line that uses puts, but forgot to adjust the bind statement.
But I already use bind $::dropbutton.

And it doesn't work.

Is your code returning an action inside p.playwav like
it does with the return %A in the commented out bind?

If you don't then refuse drop is assumed, though to be
honest, I don't know what that does.

But maybe it messes things up if you don't do a return of
some kind. In my usage, I always just return "copy".

Have you looked at:

Especially look at the Q&A at the bottom.

Actually, when I changed it to:

bind $::dropbutton <<Drop>> {p.playwav %D}

and dragged a .wav file onto DROP it works for me
on my windows system.

I didn't bother to return an action. So, that's not
a problem here.

How are you dragging, I'm just using windows explorer.
