Help New to android and galaxy tab, few questions

So I just got my first android device and decided on a tab 2 10.1.

I did have a tab 3 for a few days but wasnt happy with its performance so sent it back.

First thing, I bought one song on the tab 3, but now cannot find how to get it on this device, if I go into my google play store all my apps are there and ive had no problems getting them, but cant find music downloads, or any account details? I have redeemed a voucher on there but cannot find a way to see how much credit I have unless I click to buy something.

Also I couldnt log into or even watch videos on youtube on the tab 3, because I think my account is not linked to my google+ account and I dont want it to be, this one has an older version of the app and works fine though when I go to log in it asks for my Google+ account again, why.? Its very frustrating, its asking me to update it but I am worried that if I do it wont even let me watch the videos so basically do I HAVE to link my account to use the app.

Im sure I will have some more questions soon but so far am quite pleased with my purchase
 
To access the playstore and google services you have to log in or create a google account.

You do not have to have a google+ account to use the youtube app.
Where did you buy the music? Playstore? Amazon?

You're device has to be logged in with the same google account that purchased it. Then open the play music app. You will find the songs there.
If amazon download amazon mp3. Log in to your amazon account.
 
Thanks for your reply
I bought the song from Google play with my google account, the same one im using now. When I open up the music player it's not there, and its no where on Google play unlike the apps ive purchased which are all there. If I go to the song again in the store it isn't greyed out or anything

When you open the play music app and choose "my library" your puchases should show up there.

No it doesn't, it seems to have completely disappeared.

Ive another question,
When I plug it into my pc it doesnt do anything, is it supposed to. ?
It shows as connected and the auto play dialog box appears but there is no options in it. Nothing tries to run or sync. ?

For syncing Outlook, pictures, videos, contacts etc, you need to download KIES to your PC. Kies is the Samsung proprietary syncing software. It can be bothersome at times. Google a couple of articles on Kies problems before you decide to install it. There are other syncing options available.
