unable to drag and drop mp3 into iTunes

I'm having a problem dragging and dropping mp3s into iTunes. I've had no problem in the past and have not updated my settings in any weird way. Whenever I drag an mp3 into iTunes a red square appears around the whole library and does not allow me to drop it in. Opening the mp3 in iTunes any other way doesn't work either.

MacBook Pro (2020 and later)

MP3 files do not load to iTunes I have iTunes for many years. I have never had a problem before. Suddenly, iTunes stopped loading the files. I use 2 methods: File -> Add file to library -> (choose the file to load) OR Just drag and drop the MP3 file into iTunes library Neither method works! It does not give me any error messages. It just does not load. When I try to drag and drop, the blue box appears around the library screen. I rebooted the computer, but it still does not work. Please help! Thank you.
