As the title says, I’m back on here and have downloaded from apple store. But then it says it needs to work form applications. how do I move it from where it is in finder to applications? I’ve tried to drag and drop, it doesn’t work. this is how much i struggle with computers.

If you download the app from the Mac App Store it should already appear in your Applications folder. I think there is no way to make the Mac App Store app download apps to the Downloads folder.
Have you maybe downloaded a trial version via my website?

I think I’ve got the free trial version filed under “Tag editor 2” 70.8 mb. I also have MP3 Tag 22.7mb, I’m not sure where that came from! Tag Editor gives me the option to drag and drop files. Is that the one I should b using?

If you'd like to use Mp3tag, you can download the trial version via the Download link from
> **[Download – Mp3tag: the universal Tag Editor for Mac](https://mp3tag.app/get/)**
>
> Mp3tag is the universal Tag Editor for Mac. It supports editing of metadata and cover art for many different audio and video formats (MP3, MP4, FLAC, WAV, ...), file renaming, metadata import and repeatable actions.
If not done automatically, the zip is extracted to a file named `Mp3tag.app` (or just `Mp3tag`) and need to be moved to `Applications` in Finder to function correctly.

Right, i’ve at last managed to get the program to open, and have dragged and dropped 10 test songs to the tag editor page. What next? I need to delete unwanted numbers and parenthesis from before the song titles. I found that to drag and drop on Macbook pro I have to hold the ALT key to drag songs across. what next?

> First off, I'm getting too old for computers, over 70, I've lost a lot of my record library thanks to Apple music and iTunes, now trying to restore from old hard drives, I now have loads of songs that have a track number at the start of the title that really needs to be deleted. First how do I get the list of songs across to here, then how do I convert them to not have the number at the start? Then where should I save them when that's done? Using Applemac I really don't find any of this easy …
