Music Control and Looping Help

Hi Guys

I have a track I need to play to a Bluetooth speaker. It is in Google Play Music, in a folder/album called Music - Unknown Artist. It contains only one track. Now, I selected "Download to Android Wear" in the Google play music settings menu, but when I open the android wear version of Google Play Music on my Moto 360, it says "no music is downloaded to you watch". Note that track was created by me on the computer, and transferred directly to the phone via the Windows file manager. Now, I have found a workaround. When I open Google voice search from my watch, and say "play music", the track starts playing through the speaker. Note that it is the only thing I have in Google play music. There are no other songs or files in Google play music other than this one track. So what is the problem? Once the track finishes playing, it repeats. This is unacceptable for my application of this, and I need to find a way to make the music stop once the track is completed. Also, it would be nice if I could get it downloaded to my watch.

Thanks
 
Does this track display in Play Music's Downloaded only list? Even if it's stored locally I don't think it will sync with Wear unless it's "downloaded" to the app.

Update: I've checked my own devices and can confirm that even content stored locally on the phone has to be downloaded (tap three-dot menu on track and select "Download") in order to sync with Wear.

Well, part of this has been solved, with an answer that came straight from the horse's mouth. I visited google, and all the guys have android wear devices (gear, live, g watch). I asked one person (who also had a moto 360) about the looping issue, and it is now solved (it turns out here's a little icon by the play button in full view). However, I forgot to ask about the download problem. Here's where I run into a problem. I don't see a "download" option. Could you send me a screen capture?

Here's a couple that show (1) the folder menu and (2) the "Download" option within it. Once the folder contents are downloaded a small orange check mark will display under the menu.
