iTunes can't play new mp3 added to library (macOS CATALINA)

Hi,

Since I downloaded "macOS CATALINA", when I try to add a new mp3 song in to my iTunes library, it can't read it. It "shows" quickly the Icon of the song being transferred to iTunes, but when I research the song inside my library, I can't find it.


Could someone help me ?

Thanks a lot.

In principle the old library files are redundant once you've upgraded to Music, TV, Podcasts, & Books, however they also provide a potential recovery route if the new library is damaged at any point. It might be a little early to worry about cleaning them up. They're not taking up a lot of room.
