Help Saving Google Play music to SD card

I have a new phone with Android 5.1 and have downloaded the latest Play Music on my PC and phone. My library is bigger than the internal storage so I'd like to save to the SD card I have in the phone.

The trouble is that in Google Play settings on the phone there is no option to save to SD card - not even a greyed out one.

Windows explorer sees the card as separate from the phone, as does the ES file explorer on the phone. I can save data to it with other apps such as Plex. That gives me the option to sync to external storage and works fine so the card seems to be functioning correctly.
