Transfer mp3 files from VLC to iTunes

Trying to move music files from VLC to iTunes. Did it for about 25 songs but it's not transferring any more. It seems like it should be simple but it's wonky.

iTunes may be more particular about the internal format of media files than VLC. Copy the files you want to add into the Automatically Add to iTunes folder inside your media folder. They will either be added to the library or moved to a subfolder called Not Added. It won't tell you exactly what the problem is, but it will at least confirm there is one.
