How can I view my music in list view in iTunes 12.4?

'command' on Mac, and thank you, that was driving me crazy. Couldn't get my head around how a list view could possibly be what they expected us to work with now. Is this the default? Crazy. And the option to get out is hidden in a menu or keyboard shortcut... Jeez.

No, it DOES NOT MAKE SENSE OVERALL, apple Wantabe. Leaving interfaces alone so that people using them can continue to use them as they've learned to use them makes sense. Also, the "solution" you provide only works in part. Try clicking on Recently Added to get any meaningful list view of the kind which allows the user to select the way he or she wants to see the list (alphabetically, by date, etc.)

Right.

You can't.

I AGREE.

Like others, I just spent an infuriating hour trying to figure out how to view just the songs of my music library with all the meaningful information that I want to see in a list view. I find the "Recently Added" view in the left column just ridiculous, with "view options" (cmd-j) not letting us do squat.

My only workaround was thus:

1) Create a new smart playlist, and set it to show "Name" "is not" and then leave it blank. (Let's assume we don't have any important songs to us in our library that doesn't have a name!)

2) Now when you click on your new playlist, you are able to change view options into a list view that's useful.

Oh Apple, WHY? Why 'fix' simple interfaces when they're not broke?!

Hope this helps someone else.

Where for instance is list view for my music?

You can change the view for your library in the sidebar. Under Library, click the view you want to use. If "list view" is the plain list with columns, click Songs.

Where is Playlist view?

If "playlist view" is what you saw before when you clicked the Playlist button (which showed the sidebar), the sidebar is now visible by default. If "playlist view" means something else, please post back with more info.

Where is the Home Movies tab?

Select to show your Movies library. In the sidebar, under Library, click Home Movies.

Overall, this version is different, but it makes more sense overall. I'm glad the sidebar is back as a permanent fixture of the interface.

For Home Videos, select that view under Library. Then, from menu bar, View -> View As -> List.

However, that option does not exist for Recently Added (under Library). However, your Recently Added smart playlist is still there, and you can change its view like with any playlist.

So there really just is no way to view everything as a list? I go to "songs" and I want to find a particular album so I search it in the top right search bar, but when I click on the album it doesn't just take me to it in my nice little list, it brings me back to the terrible album page, where everything is chunked off and I HATE IT.

Oh my, you are completely making this way harder than necessary. Granted, it may not be intuitive but the reason that you have no "Songs" selection in the sidebar is that you have not enabled it. Simply right-click on any of the other categories in the top left (Album, Artist, etc.) and select "Edit List", then put a check mark next to "Songs".

Under "Library" if you select recently added, in music or movies or anything, it will come up as icons. There is no list view.

Annoying.

That's something new. The Recently Added smart playlist is still there (if you had it before) and it works like any regular playlist (where you can change its view).

From the drop down menu, select Music. Once in Music, in the sidebar, select Songs and you're into the traditional List View.

@PDXSMB: You can select the media kind either from the drop-down menu just to the right of the back/forward buttons in the toolbar (you can edit it to include only the media you want) or from the menubar View>Media Kind which also shows key shortcuts.

I see that, but I want "recently added" in list view

And Home Movies in list view. (in fact anything in Movies).

Awesome!

Wonder why you can't do this with "Recently Added"?

Maybe they'll do it for next update. You can provide feedback to Apple here
