Unable to move audio different to track

If you select the whole audio track - then hold down the left mouse button while the cursor is over the selected track, can't you just drag and drop it into the new track?

No, that doesn't work. I have tried many many times. However, I found out that I can only drag the audio to certain audio track and not just any audio track. This wasn't the case in Premiere 6.5 that's why I was confused. It seemed that if I drag to a very bottom, the gray area, then program automatically create a new track for me. But like I said, I can just drag to any track like in version 6.5.
Well, thank you very much for the effort.

Is this audio track tied to a video track (such as a vocal track) or is it separate from a video track 9such as a music of sound-effects file)?

Sorry about the progressive-typo multiple responses.

Perhaps, but how do I know which track is stereo and which is mono? The reason I asked because I don't think I have any mono track. I believed my digital camera's audio is stero and not mono. So when I capture using firewire, I believed Permiere also captured it as stereo too, right?

A clip's mono or stereo status is determined by the source and how you capture it or post-process it, not where you l=place it in Premiere.
The status of a particular timeline audio track is determined by a combination of the defaults and choices the the user makes when adding tracks.
In PPro, just to the right of the track name in the timeline you will see a double speaker symbol for stereo tracks and a single stereo speaker symbol for mono tracks.
As I said already, one possible reason why you can't put audio clips onto another track is that the track format doesn't match that of the clip - mono, stereo, or 5.1.

I guessed you are right. However, all the clips are from the same source and captured the same way, why are some clips have mono and some have stereo? Is there a way I can change the mono to stereo without launching a third party software to change it manually?

I think you are missing my point.
All I have said is that ONE reason why in PPro you MIGHT not be able to move any audio clip to any other track is that PPro only allows stereo clips onto stereo tracks and mono clips onto mono tracks.
If you check the properties of your audio clips inside PPro, you will know whether they are stereo or mono.
If you look at the track and check whether it has one or two speaker icons, you will know whether the track is mono or stereo.
No big deal, just needs the user to take a little more care with track selection than was necessary with earlier versions of Premiere. Not a reason to go round trying to remaster audio. Just create a track to match the clip's settings if existing tracks don't already match.
