Using iTunes m4p audio files in iMovie?

I've created many personal use video projects in iMovie using songs from my iTunes library. I have never had a problem with compatibility. Now, for the first time, many of the songs in my library are not compatible with iMovie. Why is this the case and what can I do?

How to upload Apple Music song to iMovie? I downloaded a protected MP4 song from Apple Music to my desktop. When I open the song, it automatically plays from Apple Music. Not a problem except I want to add it to my audio files on iMovie and can't seem to do that. I've refreshed my library to no avail. Also, my Apple Music library doesn't match the library on my iMovie Audio file list. Help? Thank you all in advance.

iMovie not showing Music library I have used iMovie for years and have regularly incorporated music from my iTunes now known as Music. Now my Music library is not showing up. iMovie appears to be pointed at an "Unknown Album" (see image). I have my Music library in the cloud, but research indicates that should not be a problem. Is there some way to re-direct iMovie to my Music library?
