We know that on Mac computers, we can only read NTFS volumes and cannot write data to it, this is because the Mac operating system does not enable NTFS write feature by default. Hasleo NTFS for Mac is a software designed to full read and write access to NTFS volumes on Mac, so you can use it to full read and write access to NTFS drives in Mac OS X 10.15 Catalina.
As a matter of fact, writing to NTFS drive on Apple is possible since Mac OS 10.6 without any third-party NTFS driver, but the NTFS writing support is disabled by default. Therefore, SL-NTFS is used as an interface on the Apple NTFS driver to enable writing to NTFS drives on Mac. The package has been tested with Mac OS X 10.4.11/PowerPC, Mac OS X 10.5.8/PowerPC and Mac OS X 10.6.4/Intel/64-bit Intel. NTFS-3G includes and depends on MacFUSE. Information on how to install and use NTFS-3G for Mac OS X can be found in the User Guide.

OSX itself can indeed only read from NTFS formated disks, not write to them.
Only through installing NTFS-3G or the commercial Paragons NTFS for Mac OSX gets write access to NTFS.
While there is a way to convert FAT32 to NTFS there is no way for the other direction apart from reformating the disk.
But for 'uploading' the music files you have on that disk you only need read access not write access.
Or do you plan to leave the files on the disk and not put them into the iTunes library ?
