do i need to change something in the properties of an MP3 file to get it to go into my itunes? i have tried dragging and dropping it directly, using "add files" and even copying it into the itunes media folder (it goes to a "not added" folder

Something has changed recently, that means that rips from YouTube can no longer be added to iTunes. No one is sure exactly what has changed, but since it's in YouTube's interest to prevent music being copied from YouTube, it's reasonable to assume that it is YouTube that has made the change.


The way around it is to buy the music from a legal source, thereby supporting the artist.
