Apple Music Local music in iCloud

[Sukach]

I, honestly, haven't paid much attention to my local music collection in YEARS. But, I'm going to see a band I loved 20 years ago next weekend and there are a couple albums that I have that are not in Apple Music. I have these files on my MBP (technically, they are on a flash drive that's always in my MBP). They sounds are grayed out in Apple Music. How can I get these songs corrected without having to delete and re-add? Or is that the only way?

I've attached some photos of what one of the albums looks like in Apple Music as well as the "Get Info" for one of the songs that is grayed out and one of the songs that is not.

Have you double checked that the song files exist on the flash drive…by playing them via Quicklook or the Quicktime app?

yes.

Definitely speculation but I suspect the Music app is having trouble dealing with your library being on that flash drive.
