computer not authorized to play song

I am getting a message to sign into Apple music and authorize my computer every time I try to play a song I just purchased.

I deauthorized all of my computers and reauthorized the computer I am using to play the song. Still the same error message

Authorize a song request repeats I keep getting the same message “This computer is not authorized to play “Song name”,. Would you like to authorize it? I sign in with my Apple ID and password and I get a message that says “This computer had previously been authorized, it has been re-authorized” I try to play the song and the “not authorized message” reappears.

computer not authorized When I try to play a song on my computer that I purchased from the itune store, a pop up says my computer is not authorized. I sign in and authorize it and another pop up says it is already authorized. I try to play the song again, and the cycle starts over with the computer is not authorized.

Authorizing my computer When I try to play a purchased song, I get a message that this computer is not authorized. After authorizing it, it says it was already authorized and is now reauthorized. But when I try to play the song, I get the same message that the computer is not authorized. I have tried deauthorizing and reauthorizing, as well as restarting the computer. No luck.

Delete and redownload the song which won't play; if you get told that you'll be charged again, click here and ask the iTunes Store staff for assistance.
