Damn. I migrated my Google Play Music purchases to YouTube Music and to this day I have no idea where they actually went. If I hadn't downloaded the local MP3 copies with the terrible joke of a client software they had, I'd have been screwed. Went back to just buying music on iTunes.
My migrated music from Google Play seems to be in the "Library" section of Youtube Music.
I ended up recovering some of my music using Google takeout which in turn absolutely wrecked most of the tags on my songs.
