I'm seeing some weird behavior when scanning files on an external (USB) drive.
After I scan my external drive, I have a large number of "Failed to add" files. The error shown for each file is "Error scanning file, error while reading file info". After closing the results dialog, many of those files appear in my library. So it appears the errors were false. However, there's no way to tell which files were added to the library and which errors were actually real.
If I move some of the same files to my local hard drive, they are scanned and added successfully with no errors.
As a separate issue, WMA files trigger a scan error and are not added to the library regardless of location. What is the expected behavior for WMA files?
Edit: Forgot to add that this is build 3515 on M1 Mac 15.7.7.
