Hi!

I'm new to this forum and first of all I want to say that mp3tag is the best tagging tool ever. As a dj I've tried several and compared to mp3tag they all lose.  
The only problem I have, because I work on OSX is the lack of getting the preview player to work.  
Can some one help me with this.

Thanks in advance  
Ra

See  
File\>Options\>Tools\>Start special program with double-click  
and enter the correct command line for the player.

You may define one tool entry for each player you want to apply.

For example ...  
Name: &WinAmp (add)  
Path:   
Parameter: '/ADD "'%\_path%'"'  
For all selected files: yes

For example ...  
Name: Windows &Media Player  
Path:   
Parameter: '"'%\_path%'"'  
For all selected files: no

Hey.

Thanks for the quick replies. But sadly it didn't work. I've tried this before and the program crashed.  
Maybe it's the way osx works. Did anybody got this working on a mac? There must be some kind of workaround I hope.  
I'm on El Capitan if it makes any difference
