Just noticed that the Music App in 10.15.2 beta has the Column Browser. It missing was my biggest gripe!

Cool!
Now...will it work with the 7th-gen iPod? If it will, it might make me consider trying Catalina again. It was such a PITA before and it was one of the reasons I reverted to Mojave. (The other reasons: I use Levelator and Jing religiously, but they're only 32-bit apps, and the Levelator developer retired the project.)

Oh well. At least we're back to the level of functionality offered 20 years ago by iTunes 1.0.
LOL - I am going to have to dig up a Soundjam screen shot from OS9 - pretty sure it was there before apple bought it and called it iTunes
Not sure how that version would handle 60K tracks. But I was a user then with a smaller library. Most of my stuff was in CDs with disk space too precious to encode. Still have the CDs and recoding in lossless now.
How do you get the top column browser view? I don't see that option where I can enable it.
check in the top menus - should be under "view"
Make sure you have Music v1.0.2.19 or later (Catalina 10.15.2b3 or later)

Does the Filter Field stay put, or does it still disappear regularly, for example if you click Show Up Next?
Edit - I don’t know why I made that comment because you really do need a key search ability even with the column browser and the filter field is the only choice you have - very annoying to reactivate each time you use it

So I have been testing Column Browser (never used before) vs the filter field.
If I type "Miles", yes, it takes me to Miles Davis. But how do I then quickly go back to "all artists", without having to scroll up?
EDIT: When I search John Coltrane by artist in column browser, it misses a few albums. What's going on??

Quick way to go back to “all artists” is to delete the text in the filter field and / or click the header of each of the columns to make sure they areback at “all” not on a specific artist
