First off, THANK YOU for releasing a Mac version, much appreciated! :D

I appear to get stuck out of the box though, as I can't seem to access the external drive that stores all of my music, am I missing something?

There is no "Volumes" folder in the directory tree in the left pane, I can't drag the volume to the app, and I have tried setting up a symbolic link to it but it sees that as a file, not a directory... I don't have enough room on my internal drive for my music collection so help with this would be great.

Thank you again
SR

I agree...first and foremost FINALLY!!!   THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!  I have been waiting for the Mac version for so long.  I also have found that the external drives are not being recognized by the program.  It would definitely be a nice touch to be able to have that accessability instead of having to copy the audio files to my main computer and then drag them back to the hard drive.  I also do not have enough internal drive space to be able to do this.  But again, thank you for finally putting out the Mac version.

And I'm wanting to add a little bit...I a bunch of SFX onto my desktop to take the program for a spin.  Upon directing the program to the folder that I had placed 670 SFX, it scanned the folder ok and it located duplicates ok, but then within about 2 seconds the program crashes.  I tried it several different ways, but no matter the option, if the program scans to search for duplicates...as soon as the results come up, the program crashes.  I am running on OS 10.7.4, 2.66 GHz Intel Core i7 with 8GB of DDR3 ram.
