Hello new account here but I used to scroll through here in often as a guest. This forum has saved me alot of headaches in the past!
I currently have the moto x second generation all stock and I downloaded a music file from the internet and it shows up in my downloads and I am able to play it there but I would like to move it to the "play music" app. Any help appreciated! Thanks!
 
Where you keep your music files on your android device is irrelevant. Android media scanning will find them and update its media database accordingly. For music apps using their own databases, eg google music or poweramp, they too use scanning method to update. If you want to exclude any folders containing media files, then place an empty file called .nomedia in that folder.
