Album View broken in Apple Music???

So I just got a new mac. I've been avoiding updating to Catalina because I was worried about what I would be giving up, in particular with iTunes. I am setting up Apple Music and it's infuriating. Not just different, but actually worse.


So to my particular question, in Album View, when I key in command-L, rather than take me to the currently playing album within Album View, it opens up the currently paying album in its own tab. When I go back to Album View it then returns to the same spot and does not show me where the currently playing album is in context. This is beyond annoying. It's useless.


Is there a way to quickly get the Album View to show me where the currently playing album is? Is my only option to scroll all the way down?


Alternatively, is there any way to return to iTunes? Or is there a better music playing app for playing my personal music library?


Also, is there a way to change the default album size to display more than 6 across?


Thank you.

iMac with Retina 5K display, macOS 10.14

I didn't mean to hit solved. I was trying to see if there was a drop down menu to say "This did not solve my question."


Is there a way to change the default 6 album across in Apple Music? And is there a way to make command L take you to the current album playing within album view without leaving album view? I want to see the current album playing in context, but it just takes me to a full screen of the album playing, and then when I go back to album view, it's still in the same place, not where the current album is.
