Cannot put audio in the audio track

Hello!

I am trying to add audio to one of my audio tracks in Shotcut. It is not letting me do so. I will drag it in and it will not go into the audio track. It is and MP3 file. It will come up with a not allowed sybol as the cursor This is the what the cursor turns into. ) as I hover over it with the MP3 file.

I don’t know how to fix this. If anyone can help I would be very happy!

Thanks for reading
