Why no "genré" selection in music 1.2.2.40 on macOS Monterey?

Hi there geezer18,

The steps below can help with viewing the genre for Music in macOS Monterey:

Your music can be sorted by up to five categories (Genres, Artists, Albums, Composers, and Groupings), divided into columns. As you select an item in each column, the list narrows down to display only the matching songs.

For example, to find only pop music by a certain artist, you could select Pop in the Genres column, then the artist’s name in the Artists column.

1. In the Music app  on your Mac, click Songs in the sidebar on the left.

2. Choose View > Column Browser > Show Column Browser, then choose the columns you want to display.

You can’t change the order of the columns.

3. In the column browser, select options in one or more columns.

As you select options, songs that match your criteria are displayed below.

This information can be found in Find a song with the column browser in Music on Mac.

If we've misunderstood your question, please provide additional details.

Thanks!
