Drag and drop mp3 to iTunes not working

Machkor,

There are many ways to add an audio file to your iTunes/Music library. It is not uncommon for one or more of them to be broken. First make sure the valid file is on your local drive.

Then try one or more of the following:

• Drag it into iTunes (or Music)
• Drag it into a specific playlist (i.e., the open window of a regular playlist, not a smart playlist)
• Drag it into the "Automatically Add..." folder
• Use the command File > Import and navigate to its location
• Right-click the MP3 and choose Open With > iTunes (or Music)
• Double-click the MP3

If the audio file is valid, at least one of these should work.

If none of them work you may have an invalid or corrupt file.

Hey Machkor13,

It sounds like you're having some trouble dragging and dropping certain songs.

Are you able to move these songs to the Mac itself? If so, try these steps here to import them and let us know if you have a different result with those specific songs: Import music from a computer to Music on Mac - Apple Support.

Cheers.

Based on those symptoms, it is highly likely that the files are not valid.

What is the source of the files? Can you request a refund or replacement?

Howdy I am having the same problems that OP has described and have tried all the steps that you have suggested, Plus I have tried all the steps in what the post below has suggested and I still cannot add any songs to my itunes library. It see like nothing will work for me. Is it that all my mp3 files are corrupt (which is highly unlikely since they worked just before this problem), or is it any apple software bug? Any help would be appreciated.

Howdy, I have done all the steps you suggested AND nothing seems to work. How can I tell if my mp3 files are corrupt? or is it a software issue?
