Mac OS 14.3 - Importing music off a CD gives "An unknown error occurred (-54) code"

After updating to Mac OS 14.3 when I try importing a music CD into my Apple Music library I get "An unknown error occurred (-54)".

I was able to import music off of a CD in 14.2, but after updating to 14.3 I can no longer import music off of a CD into my Apple Music library.

The access to the Superdrive is blocked. Go to System Preferences >

Privacy and Security > Files and ... > find the Music App icon,

click on it, activate External devices ticking the button. This worked

for me.
