Authorization for my itunes is not working

I got a new laptop and transferred my music onto it through itunes. I go to play a song and it says "Authorization is needed". I go to authorize it and I get a message saying "Already been authorized" and the cycle repeats again..... Help?? I want to listen to my music...

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.
