Issues adding sounds/instruments to the library

[Heuge]

i got a bunch of adv and adg files from a friend who always uses live 8 and went to play some of them, and try em out, but when i go to drag them into the sampler, its not reading/letting me do that. It just gives the no smoking sign type thing as i hover over the sampler input.

Please help me troubleshoot this.

a bunch of adv and adg files

Ableton specific file types | Ableton
adg=Racks
adv=Device Presets
both no use inside a sampler - that only eats samples,
just drag them onto an empty track (or the area beyond the tracks in session view to create a new track) and see what they contain.

i also tried that....would not let me, gave the same no smoking sign type thing.
