Can't add music to Photos slideshow. Options greyed out.

Hi, this used to be easy to do but for some reason I can't figure it out.


When I make a slideshow in Photos, and try to add my own music, all the options are greyed out. I understand you can't add streaming songs from Music, but I dragged and dropped the MP3 file into my Music Library on the Music app. None of the options let me select them.

MacBook Air 13″, macOS 11.6
