**Description Of Issue

On import of album file import is stuck on third file. Album consists of 11 files.

Album I’m trying to import:

I can’t stop the process. I have restarted core, switched off and on, and did reset database. Nothing did the trick. How can I solve this ?

Edit:
After converting the files in apple music to lessless files (also m4a extension) and creating another network directory and also restarting my macbook (running as endpoint) import of this album has succeeded.

.m4a files are not supported by Roon.

M4A Apple Lossless File showing as audio stream format not supported

Vinyl LPs that I digitize (using VinylStudio) are imported to iTunes as lossless files with no problems. However, Roon (currently in trial) won’t import them, and marks them as “audio stream format not supported.” How can I resolve this?

I’d suggest removing that folder, converting the files to flac, and then re-add the folder.

EDIT: I spoke too soon, apparently they are supported, so it might be that the third file is corrupt. Either way, remove the folder, convert them to a different format, and try again.

Thanks for your reaction. The problem was solved after converting the file to alac format. Thanks to David for his helpful suggestion.
