INSTALL  ⚙

1. Click the red download button above. A file named InsertTextintoTag_1.4.dmg will be downloaded to your "Downloads" folder.
   Double-click the .dmg file to mount and display a disk image window in the Finder.
2. Now, open a new Finder window and navigate to your [username]/Library/Music/Scripts/ folder.
   * The user Library folder is hidden by default. Option-click the Finder's Go menu and select "Library" to make it visible.
   * If there are no folders named "Music" or "Scripts" there, create them.
   (If this script will be used with the TV app, then substitute "Apple TV" for "Music" as the folder name above.)
3. Select and drag the files from the disk image window into the "Scripts" folder. Scripts placed in this folder will appear in the Music app's (or the TV app's) Script menu.
4. Close the disk image window and eject it from the Finder sidebar. Refer to the included Read Me doc for additional installation options and usage info.
