Topic: macOS right click open mp3 in VirtualDJ?
In macOS 10.14 I can't right click on a track in the finder to open in 'other application/virtualdj'
I instead get this strange message:
'The document Technasia-Acidstorm.mp3 could not be opened. VirtualDJ cannot open files in the "MP3 audio" format.
Ive got disk permissions, tried many different files, can open in iTunes etc, can play the tracks in virtualdj but cant right click open them into virtualdj.
Anyone tried this in a different macOS and it worked?

It doesn't work on macOS 13.6 either.
However, drag-and-drop works just fine. I can drop mp3 file on any deck.

Thanks. Yes I can do that too but VirtualDJ needs to be open already and not full screen. It must be a bug in the macOS - Can anybody right click open in virtualdj on newer versions of macOS, 10.15 onwards? Even when I change an individual mp3 file to 'open with VirtualDJ' inside its file info, double clicking it opens VirtualDJ with the same warning, that VDJ cant open mp3 audio files???
