Playing or Adding QuickTime Recorder Files in Apple Music
I am trying to add some *.m4a's that I made with QuickTime Recorder that I have on my Mac to my Apple Music Library. I have tried the following:
** File->Import->[Select File from Dialog Box]->Open
** Dragging and dropping the file into the library when I have the "Songs", "Albums", or "Recently Added" as the selected view
** Left clicking on the file and selecting Open With->Music (default) ----*Note: in this case, the file doesn't play either
** Adding the files to the "Automatically Add to Music" folder ---- *Note: in this case, a "Not Added" Folder is created
The folders can be played by QuickTime and whatever program Mac uses when you preview play an audio file.
So, I guess my questions are these:
Did Apple create a system such that files created by QuickTime Recorder can't be added to Apple Music? Is there a reason they did this? Is there a simple way to override it?
