I thought I would download a song, but I got the same message. Since I really didn't care about the song, it didn't bother me. However, the "can't download...right now" message kept showing up in the notifications drop down list. There was a pin showing so I thought it must have something to do with that. I went to the music library and was finally able to remove the pin and the msg disappeared. Sorry, I don't remember how I deleted the pin. Look in your library and see if anything shows up with a pin icon and go from there. That's all I can suggest. Maybe someone who actually knows something will chime in. I decided not to try and buy and download any music from Google Play until I understand stuff better. I transferred some albums from my desktip with the usb cable and that worked okay.
