Why isn't music purchased in the Play store showing up in my Play Music?

[AC Question]

I can go in to the Play Store and listen from there, but I'd really like it with my other music. Ideally I don't even want to use Play Music (I use a different music player), but it sounds like that can be a pain when the music was purchased. Any ideas?
Thanks!!

Wish I had an answer, but all I can say is that I ran into the same problem and after reading a few things decided that Google has designed it so you must listen within their app. Only other option appears to be going to great lengths to find the hidden music files and convert them to a different format.
