Update to Sonoma 14.2.1 caused diappearance of iTunes playlist total time!

Update to Sonoma 14.2.1 caused diappearance of iTunes playlist total time! While the update fixed one issue (displaying only first 60 albums in Recently Added view), it now created this one. I'm a DJ who creates playlists for radio. Knowing the total time is absolutely crucial! Please restore "Total Time" for iTunes playlists and get rid of that redundant and completely unnecessary "Featured Artists" window that takes up real estate at display bottom.

Noticed one solution from years ago. View > Show Status Bar will display the number of songs, total time, and total file size that used to display in the playlist header at the top. However, I don't see a way to turn off the completely useless Featured Artists crap at the bottom taking up screen real estate. C'mon, Apple.

Fitness instructors are having the same issue! We signed out of Apple Music and the playlist time showed up. It means we can’t build a playlist and stream but are happy to buy songs to add to 17,000 20 year library. Posting separately about merging libraries that put song duplicates in my library, deleted playlists and added new ones. WTF
