An ASX file is some sort of XML file which contains a link to the original mp3
something like this
<asx version="3.0">
<param name="encoding" value="utf-8" />
<entry>
<ref href=".\Avicii - Levels - The Greatest Switch 2014.mp3" />
<title>Levels</title>

</entry>
</asx>
It will help reducing disk space.

How will it help reduce disk space?
Currently we have VDJ and we have our MP3 files. You're saying add an ASX file as well?

Also VDJ already has the concept of playlists (in m3u format) and Virtual Folders that basically do the same.

Given the shortage of information, I presume that OP is suggesting these files could point to MP3's at a URL or on a network drive, somewhere. In that case, avoiding a local copy would save local storage but of course require that the VDJ computer always have connectivity.
@Tonny72, is that what you meant?

if that's the case you can do the same in a m3u file
reference a URL or network location on each line and they play just fine and no program changes are needed
anyways i tested it in VDJ and it doesn't work with URLs but in other programs that does work
i didn't test network locations.

An .asx file points to a .mp3 file
I have a lot of compilation albums.
Example:
Village People - In the Navy - Greatest Hits.mp3
Village People - In the Navy - Party Hits.mp3
With an .asx file you can do this:
Village People - In the Navy - Greatest Hits.mp3
Village People - In the Navy - Party Hits.asx
An .asx takes less disc space, but is keeps the tags that you want. In the example a different album tag.

What advantage does it have over a m3u playlist?

It does not have anything todo with a m3u playlist.
But with replacing duplicate mp3's with a 'shortcut', but with keeping the original tags.
The .asx file points to another mp3 on the harddisk, not to a url.

Include .lnk in options fileFormats, and make a shortcut to the real file.

Delete your duplicate MP3s - space saved.
