hi..i've been using mp3tag for quite some times already and i must say that its a nice program indeed..i just love the simplicity of the program, its user friendly interface and ease to use along with its powerful functions and scripts support..good job.. _double thumb's up_
anyway..for future version, i'd to see option that allow me to hide columns that i dont need without having to delete them..this could be a hassle for users to recreate deleted columns each time they need those columns back..if possible add checkboxes to show/hide columns in customize columns dialog
thanks for much..

I like the idea and it has been requested many times before. I'll add it on my todo list for the next version.
Kind regards,

That would be so great. I have many custom fields for classical music (which I use in foobar2000 for music organization) such as composer-sort (last-name, first-name), work, movement, instruments, soloists (in addition the standard artist, performer, ensemble), etc.. When tagging popular music they get in the way.
I wish there were an easy way to switch layouts that I define - e.g. one for classical, one for popular. Initially I thought I could use "save configuration" but it seemed to me it didn't facilitate quick changes of layout (panels and columns).
mp3tag is such a phenomenal application, and it just keeps getting better. Thank you.

I've added both the possibility to show/hide columns and to load/save column configurations with the current [Development Build](http://developer.mp3tag.de).
Kind regards,
