Cannot retrieve music deleted from my S4

I asked this question on the A C Question page:

I downloaded google play music from playstore. I then deleted it to free up some space believing that I could download it again for free but when I go back to playstore to download again there is no facility to do that - only 'listen' or 'subscribe'. I can download and pay for new tunes but cannot download the tunes I've already paid for. I get the message "waiting for music to sync" then "your music is currently being added - please wait a moment and try again"

What am I doing wrong??


I got the following reply from

Rukbat

You're buying the right to play the song on a single device. It should download to the same device any time you want. But it won''t download to another device. (You aren't buying the song, you're buying the right to listen to it from a single device.)

But it is not a different device I'm using. It is the same device I originally downloaded the tunes to. When I try to get them back again is when I have the problem.

Re: Cannot retrieve music deleted from my S4

Would be grateful for any advice on this. I've been assured that once one has paid for music, on a particular device, then it can be downloaded again, on that same device, for free.
But how? There seems to be no option to do that.
