Before YouTube Music, I purchased quite a lot of albums on Google Play Music. Paying normal CD prices, no renting.

My Google Play Music library consisted of 60% uploaded and 40% purchased music.

After my Music Library migration to YouTube was done ( this sentence alone, is enough doom and sorrow for any music lover ), my uploaded music was merged with my purchases and both were put under quarantine within the "uploads" tab.

No way to recognize purchases or even the possibility of downloading any of my uploaded or purchased music.

The money I paid for the music?

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Edit: i bought 2 - 4 albums every month on average. For a few years. Sometimes more. So, it's not like they only got a few bucks ... At least from my pov. lol

You had the option to download all of your purchases and there were multiple warnings before the app was 86'd. Don't make it sound like they just yanked your music you purchased. Especially when they were the only company actually allowing you to own the files free and clear at the time.
