Recreate a playlist such that its visible columns mirror the Music library

AppleScript Applet for Music

Universal, for macOS 11 and later only. This script re-creates each selected playlist so its Songs View column settings (visible columns) are the same as the main "Songs" library.

Works with user-created regular playlists only. Please read the accompanying Read Me .rtfd doc.

Action shot:

Assimilate View Options in action

I wouldn't select a whole lot of playlists since I'm not really sure how Music will behave. Start with small batches and then see how life's treating you.
