In Apple Music for Mac, How can I show song ratings in playlists?

When I'm looking at a playlist, I don't see how I can customize the columns displayed. It seems like I'm stuck with Song, Album, Artist, and Time columns with no options for any other information like rating or year.

I feel like Apple is trying to move people away from ratings into just Heart-or-not, as evidenced by them taking away Siri's ability to "Rate this song 3 stars" on iPhone and rating songs being done via Get Info rather than right-clicking. I REALLY hate when popular features that I rely on are quietly taken away.

So am I just missing it? Is there a way to get Music on Mac to display song ratings again?

When you have the playlist selected, press Command-J or go to View > Show View Options.

A new window will appear.

The default view in the dropdown is most likely 'Playlist'. Select 'Songs' from the dropdown menu. That will change the window so that you can select the columns you want to display.

At this point, you can customize your playlist however you want.

Note, you'll need to do this for every individual playlist. As far as I know, there's no way to change the default view of new playlists or to apply a playlist template to playlists that already exist.
