Hello. Is there a way that I can go to the actual file from within the program? I would like to be able to go to the actual file from within the MP3TAG so I can view it in explorer.

Thanks,  
Hope I didn't miss something obvious but I've been looking for a while.

You can create a custom 'Tool' to do this.

Go to File \> Options (or Ctrl-O) and then to Tools. Create a new Tool, name it 'Explore' or whatever you like. Use the folder button to browse to the Windows Explorer .exe file (probably C:\WINDOWS\explorer.exe). Then add the following for 'Parameter':

/e,/select,"%\_path%"

If you like, you can also tie this particular tool to the double-click action by using the checkbox and drop-down box under 'Default Action'.
