iTunes Crashes When Adding Songs, After Latest Update

As the title states, my iTunes crashes every time I try to add a song to my library. This only started happening right after I updated my iTunes to version 12.5.2. I tried uninstalling and reinstalling iTunes but that did not help.


Here's exactly what happens:

1. I add 1 song to the iTunes library

2. The cloud symbol appears and is being added to the cloud. (I would like to add that I am subscribed for iTunes Match)

3. iTunes crashes

4. I reopen iTunes and there is not 1 but 2 versions of the same song in my library


At the end I am not able to add any new music to my library.


Please assist


Thank you

Darn, I thought for sure I had the latest version as iTunes told me there was nothing to update .... Should have paid more attention to the earlier post from Lars.


I downloaded it directly from Apple as suggested, turned on the cloud and added a couple files - no crash. So far so good!


Thanks!
