Congrats on your decision. I really enjoy the Pono and I'm sure you will as well.
Yes, you can drag and drop files from your computer to the Pono, or directly to the micro-SD card. Pono also provides a music management package called PonoMusic World. I find that this tool is easy enough to use that I usually use the tool instead of directly doing drag and drop to the device.
