How do I add sortable categories within my devices in Music app on MacBook? Image shows “Title,” “Artist,” “Album,” “Time,” and “Genre.” How do I add others?

How can I pick several albums or playlists to handle those at once? Dears, I am not able in the Mac Music app to mark different playlists or even albums at once to handle them in bulk (alt key + arrow) in album/artist view. What do I wrong? Many thanks.

How can I see every category on Apple Music? Hi, I’m wondering, how can you see every category on Apple Music easily? On the Search tab, quite a few categories are displayed, but that’s not all of them. It seems the only way to access hidden categories is either to go into a displayed category and click on a category (like “Apple Music Rock y Alternativo”) or using the Search function. However, categories only pop up on the Search function if you search for its specific name, and I need an easy way to be able to see every category easily. Thanks.

Why are some playlists showing the song title and album on the same line instead of in separate columns? Previously on my Music app on my Mac it would show the Title, Album, Artist, and Time all in a seperate column. Recently, some playlists now show the Song Title and Album in the same row and don't have a column for the album name. Some playlists do it the old way, some this new way. I do NOT like the new way. For one thing, you can no longer edit the album title directly from the list, you are forced to go into the "Get Info" section. Is there some setting I can use to change this so all my playlists work the old way? This is how the "old way" looks (album in its own column)... And here is the "new way" where the album is under the song title and can't be clicked on to edit it from the list...

Doux,

Since you are already in Songs view, you can go to View > Show View Options and add the additional columns that you wish.

Sadly, this works only in songs/albums/etc. I’m looking specifically for when I’ve selected my iPhone in the devices, and would like to add additional sorting categories within the device music listing. Thank you though.
