All my recorded CDs are missing from Music - after migrating to my M1 MB Air??

I'm nearly 79 years old and have read what has been mentioned -- this a BIG pile of ßs... How is someone my age supposed to continue to support Apple products while getting royally screwed? There MUST be a way to get my already recorded playlists and compilations of music to play on my MB Air M1 without going crazy? I am already dealing with my lovely wife having Alzheimer's - I do NOT need this stress on top of all that provides!? Get real Apple!! It is because of folks like myself that you are one of the world's wealthiest corps...
