That's solved, sorry. My issue is a bit related, not with how this library works, but with ytmusic. I always filter for albums, since from there I can get all the songs of the albums + the one I want. The thing is, I just found a few songs that are singles, that in theory should have or be an album, but aren't. For example, try searching Antidepresivos Saiko with the library and with ytmusic. It's a single, and it even says it, but not even in the app you can find it with albums filter (you can find any other single as an album). I needed to investigate further and I don't think you can do anything about it, that's why I'm closing the issue.
