Get rid of artwork at top of playlist?

After many years of using iTunes 7.5 I am forced to start using Music. With iTunes I could view a playlist and artwork was tucked away in a small box at the bottom of the side panel. I just created a playlist in Music and find that about a third of my monitor height is a big, blank artwork display (which has nothing it). Is there a way to get rid of this? I've spent the past half hour poking around settings and buttons and haven't found a way. I use playlists for a large amount of track organization within a list and my list view is really truncated by this. I'm viewing as songs which has tightened up things a bit, but there's still all that wasted space at the top.


An please, please, don't tell me to send feedback to Apple. I know about that, having spent 20 years on this forum.

I can't find any way to remove it, but I can just scroll it out of view and have the first song in the playlist at the very top of the Music app window.


You can also add any image you want to it if you dislike the empty square by tapping on the little pencil icon.
