Music app Status Bar is missing, no playlist info

Hello! Since the player controls in Music have moved to the bottom of the app this has broken the Status Bar. The option to show/hide the Status Bar is still available via the View menu, but it does not appear. So, my question is how do I access information about my playlists such as time, songs, etc.? Or will the Status Bar be fixed in a forthcoming update?


Thank you.

If you are set to View > As Songs, it will not appear even if you set "Show Status Bar," as you have observed.

If you switch to View > As Playlist, the status bar will appear at the bottom of the playlist, listing number of songs and the total time in hours and minutes.
