iTunes error -50 and 8268 while downloading from iTunes Match

Hi all,

I have my complete library in iTunes match and was downloading the songs onto my new laptop... This worked fine for more then 10000 songs but 16 of them can not be downloaded. I get the error message -50 or sometimes the error 8268 and even after restart and different networks, the songs can't be downloaded.

What can I do?

MacBook Pro w/ Touch Bar (2018 or later)

See About iCloud Music Library icons and status - Apple Support to see if that gives more clues about those items.

Same issue. I have uploaded the album twice now and it seems to lose the first two songs. They are marked as matched, if I delete the local version, I get Error -50 or 8268.

Makes me wonder how many other songs I will not be able to recover. Cloud support should be 100% secure, it's what we pay for.
