No more status bar in playlists in Apple Music on my Mac running macOS 26

Garthriot,

View > Show Status Bar should restore it. But you have to do this for each individual playlist.

I just upgraded to Tahoe, and yes it seems they have changed the whole Status Bar behavior. As far as I can tell:

• There is no status bar for a playlist in Songs view. The commands Show Status Bar and Hide Status Bar are still present, but have no effect that I can see.
• In Playlist view, there is a status bar but it is only visible if you scroll to the bottom of the playlist.

Inconvenient behavior, I would say, but that is evidently the new design.

"View>Show Status Bar" does nothing in the new MacOS 26 Music application on my computer when I try it in individual playlists. And unlike garthriot, who can see the status bar when looking at the full music library, on my computer the status bar is gone from the Library>Songs window, too, so I can't see how many songs I have in my library. When I select multiple songs, I can no longer see what the total length of that selection is.

That doesn't work for me. I have my playlists set to "View Songs", if that matters. When I show and hide the status bar, nothing happens.

If I choose Songs under Library, then I can see the counts and time in the upper-left, but nothing appears there when selecting a playlist.

Yes, I have all my playlists in "song view," too. But in Library>Songs, I don't even see the counts and time in the upper-left. I'm wondering whether there something else I need to unhide or add, but I can't figure it out.
