I have on my Windows 11 laptop a folder of thousands of MP3s. When I downloaded Apple Music, it automatically imported them from this folder or iTunes. I have added to this file and want to import them to Apple Music. The help page says to open the sidebar and click on import. I have no import anywhere on the sidebar. Anyone help?
Windows, Windows 11 (22631)
Yes as I said in my question, I clicked on the three dots and there is no option to import.
If by media folder you mean where my MP3s are stored I see no option to automatically add to music
I've also checked the Apple music folder but nothing
See Import music from a computer to Apple Music on Windows - Apple Support. There will be an ellipsis or actions button consisting of three dots that you need to click to get options to import.
Alternatively you can add new items to the Automatically Add to Music folder inside your designated media folder to have them added to your library.

OK, thanks for your input. I did quite like iTunes so I'll go for that! Cheers
If iTunes was originally installed then Apple Music may be using C:\Users\<User>\Music\iTunes\iTunes Media as the media folder, otherwise the default would be C:\Users\<User>\Music\Music\Media. You can also drag and drop from a File Explorer window to the Library entry in the sidebar or directly into any regular playlist.

You're really going to get fed up with me. I tried to navigate to both media files. I can't get past the first User. There is no <user>. I've tried to search for media with no results, just loads of Windows media player which I don't use. Drag and drop doesn't work because the sidebar closes when I click to drag an MP3. Cut and paste does nothing. I wish I'd stuck with iTunes! So I think I'm going to uninstall Apple Music and then download it again and see if that fixes anything. If not, I'll try another player
Sorry, <User> is meant to imply your user name as it appears as a profile folder for you, e.g. Bob or Charlie, etc. C:\Users\<User>\Music is your user's Music folder whatever method you use to reach that path. And yes, uninstall any/all of Apple Music, Apple TV, and Apple Devices. At that point iTunes should return to its former glory and is a much better application in my opinion.
