The library should provide functionality to browse artists and albums on YouTube Music.

The current proposed method outline is as follows (open to suggestions, improvements etc):

get_artist(channelId)
should return a dictionary with lists of songs, albums, singles, videos on the artist page
should also return info to get more songs/albums if available (i.e. the playlistId)
get_artist_songs(playlistId)
should get all songs by an artist
playlistId provided by get_artist
get_artist_albums(channelId, params)
should get singles or albums depending on the params
the required params should be provided by get_artist
get_album(browseId)
should get all songs for an album. the method for converting between browseId and playlistId that you mentioned should be quite helpful here
