File column headings limited on non Apple Music files.

I have Mac 2015 running Big Sur version 11.2.3

I had to use the topic Music on Mac because it didn't fit anywhere else.


I have an external hard drive with music that I DO NOT HAVE ON APPLE MUSIC. When I open a folder full of songs, the column headings are limited to Name, Date Modified, Size and Kind, so I have no way to know which song goes with which band. I know I have column headings of Artist, Album etc. there but I cannot find a way on my Mac to bring these column headings up.

Is there a way to retrieve these column headings or am I stuck with this limitation.

iMac 27″, macOS 11.2

Yes I am use Finder. I own a few thousand albums which I do not want to place in Music. I play music a lot randomly and Some music I don’t want to play in Music. Why would Apple limit the options, it doesn’t make sense. Column Headings are important, not only for music. Does this means I need to go a Microsoft device if I want view the songs
