Topic: Setting of browser
Hello, I need some advice.

I'm going to play an event with a friend who has his music on USB and his entire archive doesn't have mp3 tags filled in. In the browser I have columns like Artist, Title, Bpm, Length, Key. Is it possible to make a function on a button using VDJ Script where I will switch in the browser that when pressed once, the Artist and Title columns will be hide and Filepath will be displayed instead and when pressed again, it will change, so the Artist and Title columns will be displayed and the Filepath column will be hidden..

Thanks in advance for your help and good advice

Unfortunately that setting is not scriptable.
 
My advice would be: Tell your friend to tag his files. It's not your responsibility to alter VDJ because he doesn't have tags. If he's going to play on your system, he needs to prepare the files.
 
Thanks for the answers
 
Also, you can select all files on browser (or the ones you want), open Tag Editor, and click the small dot menu between Artist and Title and select the "Get Artist/Title from Filename" option.

This will parse the filename and will fill the basic "Artist" and "Title" fields automatically.
Key and BPM is the result of scanning those files.
So, with a few clicks you should have the basic info visible into your browser.
