iTunes 12.2 restoring column view for playlists and removing cover art

Ever new playlist that I create has the column format changed and a gigantic cover art banner above it. I use iTunes to organize music

by key and BPM, storing that information in the comments section. This makes it very easy to arrange dj sets, radio shows, podcasts, etc.

Is there any way to change the playlist view back to show columns? I've read one article, http://www.mcelhearn.com/itunes-12-2-new-playlist-view-option/

that says it is an "Option" but there is no way to change it. Please respond if you have a way to change the playlist view back to display columns or have an effective way to contact Apple to lodge a complaint concerning iTunes 12.2. new format.

-Thank you

This is totally annoying!

Press CMD + J for 'View Options' and in 'Show as:' choose 'Songs'

Further to this, in iTunes 12.7, all the required views for a playlist can now be found in the "view" menu.

To change playlists back to song view -- while in the the playlist; Go to "Menu" - "View As" - and check songs and you're back to the original song view.
