Can't Drag And Drop Music Into iTunes Library

I have purchased a bunch of music from Bandcamp.


I would like to drag from folder (unzipped) the MP3 files to the iTunes library.


Old way: just drag it into either library or manual/static playlist with custom name.


Doesn't work anymore.

Drag the unzipped folder (or the individual MP3s) into the Automatically Add to Music (or Automatically Add to iTunes) folder, which can be found inside your Media folder.


Do this while Music or iTunes is running, and the songs will be added to your library.

Emrecio,

Depending on your setup, it might be in /Music/iTunes/iTunes Media or similar. If it doesn't show up right away, search on "automatically" in Finder.


If you find multiple "Automatically Add..." folders, drop an MP3 into each and see which one does the magic. Once you find the right one, put an alias on your desktop for all future activities.
