I guess we need to clarify what kind of gift cards you got. Did you get a standard gift card with money on it for iTunes purchases? Sounds like you got an "Apple Music" gift card, which means you have $50 dollars you can apply towards their streaming service.
To buy music, by credit card or iTunes gift card, you need to click where it says "Store". (Right now you are in "Browse" which is in blue. The streaming section of the app.) Search in the store for the music you want to purchase and download.
Here's the description of "Apple Music". (FYI, one correction you can download music from " Apple Music" but you can only play it as long as your subscription is active. But you won't be able to burn the music to disc.
Apple pioneered the idea of buying music online, but until recently their focus has been selling song-by-song downloads via iTunes for 99 cents to $1.29 each. With Apple Music, you pay a flat $10 a month to listen to any of the songs in its catalog. The songs or albums can stream to your computer, iPhone, or iPad over an Internet connection, or you can download them to play directly from your device. But you’re renting, not buying. Even if it’s on your phone or computer, the songs from Apple Music won’t play if you let the subscription lapse. (Music you bought on iTunes is still yours, though.)
Remember-
"Apple Music" is a monthly music streaming subscription service.
"Store" is where you can buy music and videos. You can stream them, download them to your computer, and in the case of music burn them to CDR's. No subscription required. (You should need to set up a username and password though.)
