General Question - Is there anyway to view my music library in a sortable list like we used to do for years on iTunes (list by song title, artist, album etc.) for my personal library?


Specific Question - The general question was prompted by the fact that I have tried to import a compilation of my own recordings from different bands. I created an album to import with a title "My Bands" and then labeled the songs and the various bands in each song informations. However, when I imported it, it is only listed as individual songs. Not as one album "My Bands". I realize I can create a "Playlist" of these songs, but in the old days, there should be an album called "My Bands" with the songs in it just like any commercial compilation. Am I missing something? Can't I import my own compilations? And if Apple Music will not accommodate this import as an "album" creating a playlist would be a lot easier if I could list things as I used to do (General question!). Thanks in advance!

I answered my own second question!! When I entered the information during import, I put song title, album and the name of the band, BUT, I did not check the box that states the album is a compilation! This solved the problem and I can indeed import a compilation of various recordings I made with different bands with different names!


First question still stands, can I view my entire library in a list form without the thumbnails?
