I've purchased a song on iTunes via my iPhone but when I open my iMac to work on the Slideshow in Photos' it does not give me the option to add to the show?
This was the 1st msg "DRM-protected audio cannot be used in slideshows. Choose another audio track"
Then I purchased the track, but it still wont allow me to add?
iMac 24″, macOS 12.3
If you have a cd writer there is a workaround. Burn a CD with the song and re-import it.
Hello lieze,
Welcome to Apple Support Communities.
You’re unable to use the song as it is DRM protected.
Here’s more information on creating a slideshow: Create slideshows in Photos on Mac - Apple Support
Please feel free to leave Apple feedback here: Product Feedback - Apple

Take care.
