Music (Cache) on SD Card
By default Google Play Music caches music to your internal storage.
If you want to move the cache to an external SD card then you need to create a symbolic link to your SD Card.
Move or Clear Cache
From the information I've gathered, you need to clear the cache before moving the cache to the SD Card. But I suspect that you can just move the cache to the new location.
Create Music Directory on SD Card
Create the following folder on your SD Card:
mkdir -p /storage/sdcard1/gMusic/music
Create the Symbolic Link
Create a symlink to it in the following folder:
cd /data/data/com.google.android.music/files ln -s /storage/sdcard1/gMusic/music
Notes
The SD Card mount point may differ on other devices. On the SGS3 its storage/sdcard1
