Install

- Add your music folders when prompted, or later in Settings › Library.
Updates
MacAMP updates itself with Sparkle from a signed release feed. When a new version is ready you’ll see the release notes and an Install Update button. Check any time in Settings › Updates, or run the install command again.
First launch
macOS asking for permission?
This only applies to the disk image. Installed with the Terminal command, MacAMP opens right away. If macOS says MacAMP “can’t be opened” or is “damaged”, it just can’t attribute the app to a registered developer yet. The download is fine. Approve it once and macOS remembers, including for every future update.
- 01
Double-click MacAMP in Applications. When the warning appears, click Done.
- 02
Open System Settings › Privacy & Security.
- 03
Scroll to the Security section and click Open Anyway next to MacAMP.
- 04
Confirm with Touch ID or your password, then open MacAMP again.
Tip: copy MacAMP into /Applications before you approve it. The approval is tied to the app’s location. Right-click → Open no longer works on macOS Sequoia.
