Downloading Music From Play Store on S4

[mmf115]

Hey Everyone,

This is a noobish question, but after having the S4 for a couple of months I finally decided to buy a song off the play store. However, after downloading, I saw I had to enable google play music just to stream the song? And it was not truly downloaded to my phone so I always need to have data to play it? Is this correct? Is there anyway to download the song directly to my SD/Phone Hard Drive? I figured this would be just like downloading a song off itunes, where it just stores automatically in your music app ( I use the stock music app for music, with all of my music stored on an SD)

Any help would be appreciated.

Open the song up in Google Music app, then click on the thumb tack icon to save it to the phone.

Then where does it get stored?
