First off: thank you for working so tirelessly on this version! we appreciate it! I would like to help test and give feedback on this version. To do so i was wondering if there is a possibility to import my saved actions from mp3tag windows/wine? i know where the actions are but to manually import everything would cost some time 🙂

thanks in advance!

It’s not possible, see also here

> Thanks also for the suggestions. Import of settings from the Windows version is one of the things I’m hesitant to do — it would require re-implementing the settings formats from Windows and I’d have to deal with missing action types and other differences in the Mac version. Regarding backup of settings: Mp3tag for Mac uses the User Defaults system of macOS. If you're familiar with the command line, you can use the defaults tool, e.g., defaults export app.mp3tag.Mp3tag ~/Desktop/Mp3tag.plist
