I put all my music on Google Play Music on my computer and it syncs it all with my phone now.. But I don't want to use my data to play my music on my phone when I am no connected to wifi.. So I am looking for an easy way to get my music to my sd card.. I know I can do it the old fashion way and hook to my computer and drag and drop. I was just wondering if there was a easier way.

If you sync to Google Music (Play) online then when you go to the music app do the following (make sure you do this on Wi-fi):

On the top left choose make sure you choose 'All Music' and not 'On Device Only'
Next go to the menu and select "choose on device music". Next to each album you want to keep on your device click on the pin. On the bottom you can see how much storage space you are using. After you choose your selections click done on top.
Go back to the top left and choose the option for 'On Device Only'

It will take a while but the albums will be downloaded to your device and you will only see in the app what is stored on the device so you won't use data. You can also choose playlists to download, so if you set up online a playlist that you want available you can have it available. I have a lot of albums online and don't want them taking up all the space on my device and in a lot of the albums I only care about a few songs, so I add them to a playlist and download the playlist which quickly gives me my favorite songs.

I know how to do this and thanks for your post but this method just puts the music onto the internal storage of the phone and not the memory card. I want to put NTT music on my memory card.
 
You have to log into google music from your computer and download it there first.

Then you just transfer it to the card.
