Adding music to Apple Music via drag-and-drop from the Finder in macOS 26.2, without disrupting the queue?

I've just upgraded to macOS Tahoe 26.2.


I often download lossless tracks from Bandcamp and add them to Apple Music. In prior system versions, when I dragged these files into Apple Music, I'd get a dialog box asking if I wanted to play them, clear the current queue, or just add them to the library. That dialog box is not appearing in 26.2. It's frustrating to me because I can't add music without having to redo my music queue.


I can't seem to find a setting to bring this dialog box back. Anyone know of one?


(Fortunately, adding music from Bandcamp does a much better job of matching with the Apple Music library than years ago--I'm so glad Apple has gotten this to work reasonably reliably. It takes 5-10 minutes for Apple Music to process ("waiting") but then the tracks are listed with iCloud status as "matched" which is great.)
