Apple Music app import functionality add the music files but they are all only 10s long.

I import a bunch of m4a files from a local disk and they all end up being 10s long. I can see the file sizes do not imply 10s. I'd say this started a couple of weeks ago and I cannot find any way to resolve this. I do have over 500k songs in my music library but I believe the maximum is 1M.

trying to import music into the library but the import function only looks into the icloud, the music is on the hard drive. I do not see an option to change where the music app is looking for the library. trying to import music into the library but the import function only looks into the icloud, the music is on the hard drive.

How to import content? I have some .m4a files that I would like to play in the Apple Music app. Is this possible? There are old methods that rely on iTunes, but that has been removed from current iOS and MacOS. Is there any way to import, add, or play these files? The files play normally in Quicktime, so I know they are valid audio files. Just need to find a way to make Apple Music see files that are outside their catalog.

Importing audio files to Apple Music Hi, When I import audio files without metadata I'd like them stored in a logical folder structure so I can find them easily. However, Apple Music moves places the files into the Unknown Artist and Unknown Album folder which is now a mass of files. Is there anyway to manually add files to a folder, import to Apple Music and the files remain in the folder I placed them in? Thanks
