Authorization Issues

I just bought 2 albums on iTunes. Some of the songs play with no issue. Others tell me that the computer needs to be authorized before I can play the tracks or download them to my iPhone. My computer has always been authorized. In fact, I tried de-authorizing and re-authorizing, but it still does not allow me to play certain songs from these 2 new albums. I have never had this issue before. Any suggestions as to how I can play these songs?


Thanks

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.
