Put a large collection of albums into your "Library".
Now try to pull up a list of a single artist's albums within your Library.
The "Library" management is so remedial that it's basically a joke. It can't measure up to iTunes from 20 years ago. It's completely unusable for a serious music collection.
It may be fine for people that just listen to singles and playlists, but every other music service can do that too, while also offering complete functionality elsewhere.
YouTube Music is a half-baked, half-complete product. It's inexplicable that it exists when they literally just needed to do nothing but rebrand Google Play Music.
I completely agree, I miss gpm so much. There's a lot wrong with it, especially if you have a big collection like you said, but another incredibly annoying thing is the radio for songs, bands, and even genres always seem to come back to the same stuff. I don't find new music on ytm like I did in gpm
