Why am I getting an access denied error when trying to import CD into Apple Music on my Mac mini? Trying to import a CD into Music on a new Mac mini I get the error message "The file [name] couldn't be converted. Access to the source volume was denied. Check the system settings for removable volume access". I've followed instructions to make sure removable volumes is checked in Settings/Privacy & Security/ Files & Folders/Music. Can anyone help please? [Re-Titled by Moderator]

How do I resolve 'access to the source volume was denied' on MacBook Pro M4 when importing CDs? I am getting the message: "Access to the source volume was denied. Check the System settings for removable volume access.", while trying to import CD's on a Macbook Pro M4. Before everyone says it, NO... going to System Settings > Privacy & Security > Files and Folders > Music and making sure “Removable Volumes” is turned on does NOT work. It is already turned on. The problem persists. I have seen another person posting that they are having the same issue and the thread was closed with no solution. I did not have this issue with my Macbook Pro M1. I have tried 2 different external drives and Music won't read from either. [Re-Titled by Moderator]

CD rip error in Apple Music on MacBook Air: "required file cannot be found" I'm attempting to rip a CD to Apple Music on my MacBook Air 2020 running Monterey 12.6. I am able to rip the first file in each attempt, but as soon as it moves on to the second, I receive the same error message over and over: "Error occurred while converting the file [file name]. The required file cannot be found." After reviewing older threads here I've tried removing the Music icon and relaunching the program from the applications folder; updating permissions to "read and write" access for my Apple Music folders; changed the default location for imported music tracks to the music folder under my primary user identity; I have rebooted the computer after each of these steps. However, I continue to receive the same error message each time I try to rip a CD (I've tried multiple different CDs purchased at different times, etc.). I'd welcome any helpful suggestions. Thanks.
