Please fill in the following form. Incomplete issues without sufficient

What version of the tool you are using?
0.0.4

On what operating system?
OS X 

Just a comment on what the correct syntax should be for MAC when using an 
external hard drive. After trying this over and over for about 2 hours I 
finally figured out why I was getting this error that said there were no usable 
files in the provided directory. 

when using an external drive to host your music files you need to use "/volume" 
before you enter the volume name.

example:

# mode - gui vs. cmd
mode=gui

# path to your personal music collection
music.library.filesystem=/volume/Serato Music/

# path to your serato library
music.library.itch=/volume/Serato Music/_ScratchLIVE_/

This may be common knowledge for some, but for me it was pretty frustrating to 
figure out even for someone who has been using MACs for awhile.

Hope this helps someone save some time

Sorry that example should be "/Volumes" NOT "/Volume"

so it should read like this:

# mode - gui vs. cmd
mode=gui

# path to your personal music collection
music.library.filesystem=/volumes/Serato Music/

# path to your serato library
music.library.itch=/volumes/Serato Music/_ScratchLIVE_/

the tool works as expected

but to minimize the frustration, it would be good to update wiki and add 
instructions on how to perform sync using external hard drives on Mac

Same as 17. With latest Mac OS X, every HDD is mounted under the folder 
"Volumes". Be it internal or external. Cant see why the tool should be changed.
