I'd like to add a new tag source; MusicBrainz seems to have only a 60% success rate at identifying classical albums. I downloaded a .src file for an Apple Music source that someone provided. Now what? How do I get mp3tag to include that as a place to look-up meta data? What information do I feed to the data base and how do I feed it? I'm not a programmer (clearly) and am new to mp3tag.

The basic installation instructions are (assuming you have downloaded a working \*.src file from the [websources script](https://community.mp3tag.de/c/development/web-sources-scripts/12) topic):

Thanks for this. I should have specified: I have a mac and am looking to install for the mac.

> Hi All, I am looking for a way to use Tag Sources in Mac version of MP3Tag. Mac doesn't have data/source directory to save the src file. What has to be done to get iTunes API as Tag source in mac version of MP3Tag? Appreciate if I can also get Wikipedia version as Tag source as well.
