The critical thing to do is to hold down the option key and then you can select your old iTunes library for Apple Music app.

This is just not intuitive at all.

Hold the option key, then while holding it launch iTunes, IIRC.

posted recently, Music under Monty blows serious monkey balls.

iTunes 12.9.5 on Monty is very nearly normal with Retroactive as described above.

I used the option key method above when I 1st moved from my '13 MBA to the current '18 mini.
Worked fine. My media is all on a MP3,1 that is on a 5 port switch.
iTunes at home and Emby when away.
