Cannot find the total file size of a curated Playlist


Using the Music app, I make playlists with specific lengths and sizes as part of my job, and those playlists have a hard ceiling on how big, in total file size, the playlist can be. Now, using Music with MacOS 26.2, when I look at any playlist in Music, the option to see total file size is missing. I can still see other iterations—for example, the total time length of the playlist (but only if in (ugh) Playlist View, and at the bottom of the playlist). But if I want to know how large an existing playlist is (and not in Library view, where it's also missing), I have to guess at it, which I'm finding to be not-a-solution. (This is an integral part of my job.)


tl;dr: The option to "View" information about a playlist—specifically its total file size—by "Hide/Show"-ing any status bars (i.e. from the menu options, where the options used to be) is missing from menu options, not referenced in the help files, and isn't included in incidental playlist info.


How do I now view or measure the total file size of a curated playlist on Music?


Thanks everyone!

Mac mini, macOS 26.2
