Music for iPhoto slideshow

I just created a new slideshow in iPhoto and for the first time am unable to use music purchased through iTunes and stored in Apple Music. Anyone know why this is or how to correct?!! Thanks


MacBook Air 13″, macOS 11.1

In Photos for Mac you should be able to use any Music purchased from the iTunes Store (as long as the song is not a very old song in the format "protected AAC Audio file"), but you cannot use music downloaded from Apple Music in a slideshow project. Apple Music entitles you to stream the songs and listen to them, but the Apple Music songs cannot be used in projects where you can export the song in another format that would remove the restrictions.
