It is a simple question . I purchased 112 songs from I-tunes in the last month . I loaded them on a flash drive to play in my truck and one song won't play. I checked my library, and it's on there, but when I try to play it on my PC it says "this computer is not authorized to play this song, do you want to authorize this device." I go through the steps , and it says - " this computer is re-authorized." All the music plays but when I press that song , it repeats the same message . What's the way around this merry-go-round?

Repeated requests to authorize an already authorized computer for recent store downloads typically indicates you have corrupt or incomplete copies. Delete the tracks that won't play from your library without hiding from your purchase history. Redownload using the cloud links that should remain, or close iTunes and reopen if they don't show up straight away. While downloading click the activity widget and turn off the option that allows for simultaneous downloads.

If that hasn't helped see If iTunes prompts you to authorize your computer when you try to play iTunes Store purchases - Apple Support.
