Music app playlist header

Just upgraded my OS to discover how bad the Music app is compared to iTunes. Pretty much ruined my life. Will there be an option to erase the pointless gigantic header of nothing in my playlists? I would rather see the music in this Music app than a white block of space.

MacBook Pro 13″, macOS 11.7

Get rid of Banner/header over music playlists. I see people have been complaining for years about the purposeless, space-wasting banner that appears above music playlists. I have given feedback to Apple several times, as I imagine many people must have. Does anyone know whether Apple has responded yet and has either provided a solution or is planning to? Is there an alternate method for creating/editing/rearranging playlists? Thank you. vhenlie

Apple Music playlist header takes up too much space, how to get rid of it? Upgraded to Monterey, I am shocked to see how much space the header section takes up when viewing a playlist in Music. I am even more dismayed to discover that there are no user controls available to remove that obtrusive playlist header section. WHY DID APPLE DO THAT? Is it true that there is no way to regain viewable real estate in a playlist window? Since it seems as though there is no way, is there an alternative to Music that has a more practical and user-friendly interface? Has anyone used Swinsian? If so, can you vouch for that as a viable, stable alternative. Does it work well with music libraries that have hundreds of thousands of songs, and thousands of playlists?

Is there any way to **globally** stop autoplaying songs after finishing a playlist? Apple music defaults to autoplaying extra songs after my playlist is done. This is a very annoying "feature" as I NEVER want it to play songs other than those on my playlists. I know I can disable that on a playlist-by-playlist basis, but can I disable it globally, say, in Preferences or somewhere? I curate my playlists for professional reasons, and extra songs really messes with my workflow. Please, AppleMusic, when you get to the end of a playlist, just go back to the top of the playlist instead of suggesting and playing "similar songs your robots think I might like" without my consent. Please return to the playlist behavior ITunes/Music had been for the past 20 years.

Setting "View > as Songs" makes it better although there is still that largish header. Maybe it is there to remind folks that it is a playlist and not a library? Accidentally deleting something from a playlist is not so bad as deleting from a library.
