Mac does not show "Files" tab in left browser menu?

Hey guys, in the windows version as the screenshot shows, there is a FILES tab in the left pane in the browser area which is used to navigate to your mp3 location on your hard drive. On the mac, that FILES option is not there, I tried using the option from the COLLECTIONS tab in the top tootbar but when I navigate to the mp3s on my external drive, they are shaded out.

Can anyone first tell if there is a way to have the FILES tab on a mac? If not then any ideas why my mp3s on my external is showing shaded out when navigating to it from the COLLECTIONS tab and option please?

Hi, welcome to MixVibes.

I don't have a Mac so can't tell from experience.
Fair chance Apple allows/recommends access to audio files only via iTunes.

However if you right click on the nodes at the left (collection, autoplay etc) you can see if the Files node is available and enable it.

Likely other Mac users can give you a more conclusive answer.

Thanks for the reply Ronald but I am wondering why there is not a direct contact to the developers for technical help so if the average user here can't help with this or any other issue then I will be left on my own?

Not sure what makes you think this.

Developers do read the forum and solve technical problems if any.

The users and moderators who are active at the forum try to make sure the new versions can be released asap by not having developers being distracted to much... and not just during French office hours...

I am not making this inquiry for myself, I am a PC repair tech, a DJ brought his mac to me asking me to help with this issue and is the reason why I joined this forum. If giving his license details here will get his issue settled then I can ask, let me know?

The problem is he does not want to leave his mac with anyone so I can't help him if I don't have any troubleshooting steps I can try in his presence but I will ask him to bring the mac here and this time I'll post the specifics and go into more detail, I will also have him join this forum and will post this same issue under his username.
