Some of my songs I downloaded only play 30 to 50 seconds, it's not letting me download it again to get the whole song, the only way it seems to pay for it again, that seems like a scam. What should I do??

    It happens sometimes. Delete the current copies, don't hide from iTunes in the cloud if prompted, close iTunes, reopen, download from iTunes Store > Quicklinks > Purchased > Music > Not on this computer.

     

    While downloading click the download icon and uncheck Enable simultaneous downloads. You may find it more reliable that way.
