I just downloaded the free trial version from the web siteto my MacBook Air (Catalina 10.5.17) but am unable to launch the app as it needs to be moved to the Applications folder. This option doesn't appear to be presented by Finder in the target Applications folder when I select the MP3TAG package from the Downloads for Copying. It's probably due to some oversight on my behalf or maybe I need to install the product from the AppStore. Any suggestions you have would be much appreciated.
Thanks

You'd need to copy the unzipped `Mp3tag.app` from your Downloads folder to your Applications folder. If it then still asks you to perform the move, this should do the trick:

> Can you try this command via Terminal.app and see if it changes anything: xattr -r -d com.apple.quarantine /Applications/Mp3tag.app

Thanks for the suggestions but it is the unzipped app file that I am trying to move/copy. I tried the xattr command you proposed and got 'No such file: /Applications/Mp3tag.app' as a response. Any further ideas?

OK, I think I've misunderstood you previously. Can you drag the unzipped app from your Downloads folder to your Applications folder? If you don't see those, you can try copying the file:
1. In Finder, choose _Go To → Downloads_ or Option+Cmd+L
2. Select `Mp3tag.app` and choose _Copy_ from the context menu or Cmd+C
3. Still in Finder, choose _Go To → Applications_ or Shift+Cmd+A
4. In the Applications folder, paste the copied `Mp3tag.app` via Cmd+V
5. You can now start the app from your Applications folder
6. Optional step to not get confused: delete the app from your Downloads folder

Thanks - using Cmd+V works. My issue was that I was not getting a copy-to option in Finder.
A relatively trivial oversight on my part.
I very appreciate your prompt response and patient help in overcoming this issue. I now look forward to getting familiar with what the tool can offer.
