YouTube music is awful. I hate how everything is organized. Is it even possible to search your library? I haven't figured out the actual point of adding anything to your library because searching takes you to all available options every time. And it is never sorted the way you want. For example, if you search an artist, you get their top three albums, but then you have to click into it and search for the one album you want to listen to. I'd rather the top three albums be the ones I have in my library, not their most popular current albums. I don't listen to as wide of variety of music as I did in college and I think a lot of that is yt music makes search so difficult that I can't get to any stuff in have not listened to recently.
I remember thinking how disappointed I was when I moved from Microsoft's Zune to play music. Now I'd be happy just to get play music back

Oh, I just figured out how to search my library. But I'll still argue that the button for it is not intuitive at all.

I used GPM for that exact reason. When Google announced they were killing it for YTM, I setup an Emby server and never looked back. YTM is an abismal service.
Supposedly Jellyfin is pretty good now, but that wasn't an option at the time and I've been comfortable with Emby.

The transfer from Google Music to Youtube Music didn't even work for me. It kept giving me an error message about my account not being valid.

It's a dumpster fire but for recommended mixes and the odd weird lifted from video rarity.
