Importing to Anytune Mac

You can import songs into Anytune in the following ways: 

• Anytune > File > Add to Anytune...
• Right-Click on a music file and select Open with Anytune, or
• Drag song files from a folder or directly from iTunes onto an a Anytune Playlist:
    All Tunes or a   Playlist you created, not an iTunes playlist.

Use Anytune > Preferences > Advanced to adjust the import behaviour. Select whether to play imported songs from the original location, or to copy the file into Anytune so the song will still be available if removed from the original location. 

Disable Copy songs into Anytune .... if you would like Anytune to play the song from its original location. 

Songs stored internal to Anytune and are not directly accessible.  
Right-click > Get Info  on a song in a list or the Title to reveal the location.
If the song is outside Anytune you will see path and a [Show in Finder] button, and a [Export Original Song...] button if it is stored internally. 

Anytune can access songs on external drives, but must also have permission to access the place where the file is. Usually you are asked once and then never again for that folder and you can give permission for the entire drive or top level folder.
