    Wondering if anyone experiencing my sudden, bizarre iTunes issue. I'm in latest iTunes in Monterey, all up to date.

    I have a usb thumb drive in car with my curated playlist folders - some songs purchased thru iTunes, some from other sites like Bandcamp - so AACs and MP3s.

    I copy/paste songs from my MacBook iTunes playlist directly into folders on my mounted usb and this usually works like a charm. Today it (iTunes) has decided that some songs can be copied over and some can't, not even to a test folder on my local desktop.

    However, if I show in finder that blocked song and drag it from the source folder it copies over happily per usual.

    DRM is old news so shouldn't be an issue. In fact some of the blocked songs are Bandcamp DRM-free MP3s!

    So what's with iTunes suddenly copping an attitude, applying blocks if copied/dragged from the app?

    • I rebooted fresh and performed music app copy/paste overs and everything is just warm and happy now, no hiccupsprophetone
