Music Library in left panel?

I feel so dumb. I accidentally hit the RESET button and lost all my layout formatting. Now I can't remember how to get my music library to display in the left panel. Please see the "before" and "after" screenshots. How do I get my full music library to display in the panel where the playlists list is now (left panel on second screenshot). TIA

Display "Layout Editing Mode" in the Toolbar. Turn "Layout Editing Mode" ON.
Right-click and click "Add New UI Element". Select "Album List".

In "Layout Editing Mode", right-click on "Playlist Panel".







---------
You can also use TABs to include other Panels and make effective use of the entire Layout.





Album List
Playlist Manager
ESLyric
etc...

Thank you Air Ken, for your easy-to-follow instructive reply.  The problem is, I don't get the option for Add UI element when I right-click on Playlists. I think I would have solved my problem if I saw that option.  So are my UI elements not "turned on" or something? Please see screenshot.

Oops...
Columns UI? Wrong again. Sorry.
My post is Default UI.
-------
foobar2000 menu > File > Preferences > Display > Columns UI > Layout
Now, create a Layout.

Horizontal splitter: Horizontal arrangement
Vertical splitter: Vertical alignment

Simply place the Album list under Horizontal splitter.

You could also put in a Tab stack and include an Album list, Playlist switcher and ESLyric etc... .

Hmm, I had Album List foo_ui_std already, but I just added Album List panel foo_uie_albumlist just to be sure. Yet, it doesn't show up on that Preference Layout pop up under Horizontal splitter or Vertical splitter or anywhere that I look. What do I need to do so it's there? Also, I noted that the "show captions" is not checked, but it won't let me click on it.

Splitters


Reply #3 For now, do what I do and display the Album list on the left side. After that, you can just tweak it yourself.

Ah-ha! That's what I was missing: I was trying to insert the Album List into an existing panel. I didn't think to create a new panel.  Air KEN, thank your time and patience!
