MUSIC doesn't show Playlists on my iMac

I used to be able to manage my songs and assign them to Playlist when it as called iTunes. Now when I open Music and get to iTunes, it gives me my songs but does not show my Playlists that I've created over the years. I can see Playlists on my iPod but that doesn't help me. Music is not as user friendly as iTunes used to be. How can I get my iTunes Playlists to show on my iMac.

Try enabling Sync Library in General Preferences of Music.

See Empty/corrupt iTunes/Music library after upgrade/crash - Apple Community. Your playlists should have come over if you migrated an iTunes library from Mojave or earlier to Music in Catalina or later. If they are missing you can try migrating the library again by option-starting Music and choosing your old iTunes Library.itl file as the starting point for a new Music library.
