In iTunes - various tracks (from cd download) have a dotted cloud next to their title. In the info box it says “iCloud - waiting”. How do you get this to finalise? Problem is that the iTunes on my iPad won’t play these ‘iCloud waiting’ tracks (greyed out)
Mac Pro, macOS 10.13

Error
The song file is corrupt or there was an error uploading the song. Choose File > Library > Update Cloud Music Library to resolve this. If updating doesn't resolve the issue, try importing a new copy of the song into your music library.
