Browse your music library quickly using the column browser
To quickly drill down into your music library and find a song, use the column browser.
Your music is sorted by up to five categories (Genres, Composers, Groupings, Artists, and Albums), divided into columns. As you select an item in each column, the list narrows down to display only the matching songs.
For example, to find only music by Mozart, you could select Classical in the Genres column, then Mozart in the Composers column.

Select Songs from the sidebar on the left.
Choose View > Column Browser > Show Column Browser, then choose the columns you want to display. You can’t change the order of the columns.
