Mp3tag on Windows:
File -\> Save configuration.
Unfortunately, I don't know how to restore the content of the ZIP file on Mac.

This would mean:
Locate the mta files on the PC,
make them accessible on the MAC,
use the "Import" function on the MAC as described in the linked section of the documentation.
