Q: SD card problems

Hey guys, I started using Apple Music yesterday, I've set the download location to SD card, but it's using the internal storage.

If I go to settings/apps and select the Apple Music one, it says it's taking up space on the SD card, but it isnt.

Using the file manager, and going to SD card/Android/data/com.apple.android.music/files I see the folder is empty. But the same folder on Phone storage/Android/data/com.apple.android.music/files has the files in there. I tried moving them manually, but it leads to apple music not playing the songs.

Anyone got the same problem / any tips? (running android 4.4.2, spotify downloads to SD card just fine)

    Edit: if its set to download to SD card, the files go into Phone storage/Android/data/com.apple.android.music/files/AppleMusic. If its set to device storage, they disappear from there, havent found where go go to yet.

    Edit 2: it seems that if the download location is set to device storage, it stores the songs somewhere on the cache. So it either keeps downloaded songs on the cache, or in the Phone storage/Android/data/com.apple.android.music/files/AppleMusic directory, but never on SD card.
