Thanks for trying to help me. I have tried all three Options, but in no case can I find a way to add a composer column. When I right-click on one of the headers (Option 1), nothing happens. In Option 2, there is no way of creating a Composure column; nothing happens. In Option 3, same response as Option 1. Perhaps I have a version that needs to be replaced.

Good day. I'm Jhun an independent advisor. In regards with your question, follow these steps below.
Option 1.
- Open Windows Media Player.
- Go to the Library view (click Switch to Library if you're in Now Playing).
- Click Music in the left panel.
- At the top of the list (where you see columns like Title, Artist, Album), right-click on any column header.
- In the menu that appears, scroll and select Composer.
- The Composer column will now appear in your music list.
Option 2: If you don’t see composer in the list.
- Right-click a song.
- Select Find album info or Edit.
- In the details pane, check if the Composer field exists.
- If needed, switch to Details pane view:
- Press Alt > View > Choose columns > Check Composer.
Other: To add composer info to songs.
- Right-click a track.
- Choose Edit.
- Enter the composer’s name.
- Press Enter to save.
Regards,
Jhun
