How to install HotPlayer on MacBook / iMac

Follow the steps

1. 1

   Find Hot Player in the Mac App Store

   Open the App Store on your Mac, search Hot Player and open its page. The download is free and comes with a free trial — after that the playlist licence is bought inside the app, and one purchase also covers your iPhone, iPad and Apple TV.

   Hot Player shows you a device ID

   You can do this in Safari on the same Mac — the upload page is a website, not part of the app.
