Sorry for the misunderstanding, I try to be more explicit. The table
within the block “columnview” has been generated automatically from
all the entries below “#+END” and was only to give a glimpse of how
column view looks like.

For the column view only the lines below “file content:” are
mandatory. With point on the first line, C-c C-x C-c activates the
column view which _adds an overlay to the headings with the values
from some properties_, here mainly the album information for the
songs. Do a few cycles with S-TAB repeated to get a very first
impression. There is much more like editing properties, calculation
etc., see:
