MP3 files do not load to iTunes

I have iTunes for many years. I have never had a problem before. Suddenly, iTunes stopped loading the files.

I use 2 methods:

File -> Add file to library -> (choose the file to load)

OR

Just drag and drop the MP3 file into iTunes library

Neither method works!

It does not give me any error messages. It just does not load. When I try to drag and drop, the blue box appears around the library screen.

I rebooted the computer, but it still does not work.

Please help!

Thank you.

Windows, Windows 10

There have been several discussions recently on this topic. It appears that something has changed, although no one knows what, but it's preventing YouTube conversions from being added to iTunes libraries.

It's irrelevant whether it's iTunes or YouTube that has caused this, the fact is that someone appears to have taken steps to prevent copying of copyright-protected audio from YouTube.

Perhaps it's time to buy the music you want and thereby compensate the artist for their work.

Yes. I uninstalled iTunes. Installed it again (the latest version). It loads all the converted files initially. But then if I want to add another file, it does not do it. I tried to convert to m4a. But it does not want to load it either.

Are the files MP3s, copied from YouTube, via a conversion programme?
