On macOS, Mp3tag's settings are stored at

```
~/Library/Application Support/de.mp3tag.Mp3tag_<some number>/drive_c/users/Mp3tag and you copy the tag source into the data/sources folder.

```

Kind regards

I've moved our conversation to a separate topic to keep the iTunes Web Sources discussion on topic.

You're probably looking in

```
/Library/Application Support/...

```

and not at

```
~/Library/Application Support/...

```

which is the Library folder in your user folder, e.g.,

```
/Users/Aurelien/Library/Application Support/...

```

If you don't see the "Library" folder in your user's home directory, you can probably navigate to it via  
Finder \> **⇧⌘G**  
and then enter

```
~/Library/Application Support/

```

To install a Tag Source, simply download the archive from the respective topic on the forums, extract in (in case it's a \*.zip file) and copy the \*.src file to the folder mentioned above:

```
/Users/<Your User Name>/Library/Application Support/de.mp3tag.Mp3tag_<Some Number>/drive_c/users/Mp3tag/data/sources

```

Kind regards

Ressurecting this old thread. This folder definitiely does not exist in ~/Library/Application Support/. It's 2021, where are the new web data sources supposed to go?

The native Mac version of Mp3tag doesn't support custom tag sources at the moment. It's currently supporting MusicBrainz and Discogs and I'm not yet decided if I'll bring the whole Web Sources Framework over to the Mac version in a future release.

I've written more about that here

> Your vote is definitely counted and I agree, that it's a very powerful feature. I think it's also one of the features that are very original to Mp3tag and one of the parts where it inspired other programs. However, it's also one of the features where new user struggle the most in terms of installation, updating, and getting the most out of it. It requires ongoing support and constant work to keep the sources alive. And you can't imagine how many "bug reports" I'm receiving for broken web sourc…
