    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.

    Hi Paul Cammer,

    Good day. I'm Jhun an independent advisor. In regards with your question, follow these steps below.

    Option 1.

    1. Open Windows Media Player.
    2. Go to the Library view (click Switch to Library if you're in Now Playing).
    3. Click Music in the left panel.
    4. At the top of the list (where you see columns like Title, Artist, Album), right-click on any column header.
    5. In the menu that appears, scroll and select Composer.
    6. The Composer column will now appear in your music list.

    Option 2: If you don’t see composer in the list.

    1. Right-click a song.
    2. Select Find album info or Edit.
    3. In the details pane, check if the Composer field exists.
    4. If needed, switch to Details pane view:
    5. Press Alt > View > Choose columns > Check Composer.

    Other: To add composer info to songs.

    1. Right-click a track.
    2. Choose Edit.
    3. Enter the composer’s name.
    4. Press Enter to save.

    Regards,
    Jhun
