Library View flexibility - kimbered - 05-19-2025
Hi,
Another newbie question.
Is there a way when viewing the Library list to view more columns/fields?
It currenly shows song title. Can I also see a column of the collection it is in as well as a columne of genres, etc.?
Kind of like Windows File Explorer. In detail view mode you can see the file name, date, file size. And, you can add/remove which columns you would like to see in detail view.
Thanks.
Kim

Settings > Library Settings > Song Title Formatting

Not exactly what I was looking for. I was hoping for something that would look more like an excel spreadsheet (without all that functionality) maybe with a column arrow to sort. Something like I would be able to see 4 columns - one each for, song title, collection, genre, album all in one row.
Like when using file manager isn Windows detail view. See attached photo.
Thanks

While you can't do this in th MS app, you should be be to do it in the MS Companion

Most of the mobile app frameworks do not support a "grid" component that could be used to construct something like an excel spreadsheet, as it's not particularly easy to interact with a grid-based component with touch interactions (when compared to a mouse and keyboard). So there is no easy way for me to support that even if I wanted to unfortunately. The companion app does use a grid for the main library view as a grid component is available in the Avalonia UI framework.

Thanks for replying! I just thought with a simple grid, if I had a song list and Song A showed up twice it would be easy for someone to tell what collection it was in, or what key, before clicking on it and finding out it was the other version you wanted.
I'm a longtime windows user and just starting to figure out what can be done, or is standardm, in the Android OS.
Thanks!
