1. Error transferring track: "could not open resource for writing"

This error is displayed if the imported ( copy mode ) song is already
available in Rhythmbox Music Library. So, if you import ( copy mode )
the same song more than once, this message will be displayed. The import
is aborted as a safety measure to avoid unintentionally overwriting your
files in the Music Library ( which might have better metadata tag /
album art than the copy source ). The error message displayed in the
dialog could be better and the UI dialog could offer a choice to "skip /
skip all / overwrite / overwrite all / cancel" to the user. You can open
a new issue on this at

https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/rhythmbox/-/issues/new

providing all necessary info.

2. The "error" mentioned in the initial bug description ( Import 4974
listed tracks ) is what I think is a hidden issue. I would guess that
there are duplicate songs / tracks in your iTunes library, which
Rhythmbox import code detects and fails. Try repeating the steps in the
initial bug description ( start from empty Rhythmbox Library ). Capture
the "rhythmbox.log" and attach it here.

Hint: Look for "Could not open resource for writing" string in the
rhythmbox.log. The song listed in the line above this error message is
the duplicate file which causes the import to fail.

3. The "crash" mentioned in the initial bug description is a different
bug tracked in:

https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/rhythmbox/-/issues/1768

You can update it with your findings.
