If you have an extensive audio collection, try opening an upper-level folder or one of the subfolders within the collection.
You can add directories with mixed file formats in the Tag Editor. In such a case, the application will only find and open audio tracks in supported formats.

Import Audio Tracks from Music and iTunes
In iTunes, it is possible to Drag & Drop the playlist or even the entire audio collection to the Tag Editor. In macOS Catalina, Music has replaced iTunes. It is still possible to Drag & Drop selected audio tracks there. However, the playlists and the music collection cannot be dragged to external applications. To bypass such a limitation, use the menu File / Import from Music or ⌥⌘O shortcut. Alternatively, click the "Import from Music" link in the new blank window.
