Summary of Selection on Apple Music

Something has disappeared from my view of a selection of songs on apple Music!

Previously when I have selected a number of songs from music, a summary of that selections would appear at the bottom of the screen.

EG, the number of songs selected and the total time of that selection.

That does not happen anymore, did I delete an option by accident?

Help anyone!!!

Playlist total time length missing in Apple Music on iOS 26 Using Music, I make playlists with specific lengths as part of my job. Now, using Music with MacOS 26, when I look at any playlist in Music, the option to see total length is missing. I can still see other iterations—like the total length of a group of songs selected from the library in general, now located on the upper left of any general-library view—but if I want to know how long an existing playlist is, not in Library view, I have to guess at the time, which for playlists over an hour long, starts to be impossible. This ability is essential for my job. tl;dr: The option to "View" information about a playlist—specifically total length & number of songs—by "Hide/Show"-ing any status bar (i.e. from the menu options, where the option used to be) is missing from the menu options and help files. stl;dr: How do I now view the total length of a curated playlist on Music?

Music app Status Bar is missing, no playlist info Hello! Since the player controls in Music have moved to the bottom of the app this has broken the Status Bar. The option to show/hide the Status Bar is still available via the View menu, but it does not appear. So, my question is how do I access information about my playlists such as time, songs, etc.? Or will the Status Bar be fixed in a forthcoming update? Thank you.

ALL song lengths, not only the one that's playing I dislike using the Apple Music app because I can't see the lengths of ALL songs on a playlist or album. Once upon a time, the app showed all timings, but someone who doesn't know what users want decided to remove the feature. This is not a question, it's simply a plea to PLEASE restore the function of showing the lengths of ALL songs, not only the one that's playing. Thank you.
