iTunes purchased m4a files not draggable to Finder on Macbook Pro M1

Hi! I have some problems since months ago with my iTunes shoppings. I'm a DJ and producer, so I have to buy songs on iTunes to have them in a decent quality and sync them to my USB's before gigs. But everytime I try to drag the songs I bought to a folder or desktop or finder from the Music App, they simply dont drag. The songs i bought a long long time ago still work with this functions, but it seems the recent ones doesn't work with this and it's quite an emergency to solve this problem. I have a Macbook Pro M1 from 2021 with MacOs Big Sur 11.7.10. Thank you and have a nice day!
