Dec 16, 2014 8:00 PM in response to dbeddoby gail from maine,You have two options:
On your iOS devices you can automatically download purchases made on other devices or on your Mac as follows:
Enable Automatic Downloads - Apple Support
You can also manually download purchases to your iOS device or to your Mac as follows:
Download past purchases - Apple Support
See if those help to clear up your questions. If they don't post back with questions!

Dec 24, 2014 6:25 PM in response to gail from maineby dbeddo,Well. I guess I was a little confused.
I have the album ( in question) on my iPhone 4s: and I have it on my iPad mini. The problem is that I do NOT have it in my iTunes library on my PC( Dell XPS 8300 / Windows 7.) So now I guess I need to enable the i Cloud for music on my PC ? Once and for all, I would like to store ALL of my music--on ALL of my devices--in one place: iTunes ! This must be possible!
Thanks for any help...Happy Holidays !

Regardless of where you purchased the music, you can download it to your Mac in one of two ways:
Under the View Option on the top menu, turn on "Show Music in the Cloud". This will then show you all of the music purchased under the iTunes ID that is signed onto the Mac or PC. If you want one or more of those items in your iTunes library on the Mac or PC, click on the little cloud next to the item and it will download. (if you cannot see the top menu, click on the ALT key to display it).
You can also go to Purchased under the Quick Links section of the iTunes Store and then click on Music, Not in My Library, and either Songs or Albums. You will then see all purchased music that is not currently in your iTunes library. You can download them selectively, or at the bottom, click on Download All to download all of them. You can do this with purchases under any of the categories - Movies, TV Shows, etc.
