Find a song with the column browser in Music on Mac
You can quickly find a song in your music library using the column browser.
![The main Music window: The column browser is to the right of the sidebar and above the list of songs.](https://help.apple.com/assets/6033DDE992CEA855552F17AB/6033DDE992CEA855552F17B2/en_AU/f3af26bac432f15fb8862ad8cf9e99e8.png)
Your music can be sorted by up to five categories (Genres, Artists, Albums, Composers and Groupings), 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 pop music by a certain artist, you could select Pop in the Genres column, then the artist’s name in the Artists column.
In the Music app
on your Mac, click Songs in 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.
In the column browser, select options in one or more columns.
As you select options, songs that match your criteria are displayed below.
To close the column browser, choose View > Column Browser > Hide Column Browser.
