Play Store: Where O' Where did My Music go??

I know I am late to the conversation but I found a fix...atleast for me. In the settings menu in the Google Play Music app you can choose where your downloads are stored. CHOOSE external sd card. Once you downloaded your song navigate to your preferred file storage app, I use ES File Explorer. Go to your External SD card..then Android..then data...then..com.google.android.music...then files...then music. Your downloaded music will be listed as numbers.mp3 For example: 1236.mp3....from there you can rename/move the file to where you would like.
 
The damn annoying thing about all this is I like to use the music player that comes with my SONY XPERIA! I like to throw the music to my soundbar on the TV and I can do that with the SONY one! Jesus, these guys invented the SONY Walkman for god's sake!!!!

I hate control freaks.... this is why I dumped my Apple iPhone!
