Quick answer
Download the audio from iCloud Drive in Files, check that it opens, then import it into TuneTrace. Seeing a filename in the cloud does not mean the song is saved in TuneTrace.

Common questions
What if the file keeps waiting to download?
Check your connection and available storage. Finish downloading it in Files before returning to TuneTrace to import.
Will changing the cloud file update TuneTrace too?
Importing is not two-way syncing. Reimport the correct file when the audio changes, then check the result.
