I've been a huge fan of classical music for over forty years. Ever since iTunes 5, I've been importing my CD collection into a linear structure on iTunes. I have about 20,000 individual tracks (viewed as songs), then placed into folders by composer name. Opening those folders, I have the music divided by type (chamber music, symphonies, etc), and only then have the actual playlists (Symphony #1, #2, etc). Over the years, I've been meticulous about adding details to all the tracks. Recently I upgraded to Sonoma from an earlier version. Although all my tracks are thankfully still there, and if I click View (as Songs) my composer list still comes up. But the arrangements of the playlists are a mess. For example, if I open Mozart's Symphony 40, this is what I see (Screenshot 1). The meta-data I created years ago is still there. But to get back to the view I prefer, I have to open View Options (Screenshot 2) click a lot of things manually on and off in order to finally to get back to what I used to have in the past (Screenshot 3). So my question to the group is, currently, I have to do this every time I open an unused playlist. I have thousands of playlists, and to do this individually every single time is mindboggling. Is there a better way? For example, If I want to change the equalizer in a playlist with 100 tracks, I simply would go into the playlist, select All, then go to options and change the equalizer. And it would mass change all too tracks to that equalizer. Is there anyway I can change my entire Music library (my thousands of playlists) to these view options en masse?
Thanks for your time in reading and any help/feedback. And yes, I know ... these are "first world problems". Someone living back in Mozart's or Beethoven's day would have thought it sorcery to be able to listen to every one of their symphonies (or operas, or chamber music) with a click of a mouse (with no musicians or instruments present).
