Help Can't find music in music app

[mmaryon1]

Hello,

I have two problems:

One, i downloaded some mp3 music files to my phone and saved them in the music folder. However, they do not appear in the music app. How can i remedy this?

Two, i purchased music through the play market, but i do not want to use the 'play music' app. I want to use the 'music player' app as it its easier to use. How can i remedy this?

Thanks for your answers!

I use the music player app. The logo has a silver cd with a purple music note on it. It's the default music player when i first got the phone. 'Play music' was loaded when i updated the software.
