DRM Protection?

I'm trying to load tracks that I have purchased into 'iRehearse' I keep getting the error message that the tracks won't load as they have DRM protection.

Unable to access purchased tracks! Why do I keep having the issue of my computer not being authorized to play certain tracks I've purchased, even after I've repeatedly authorized the computer I've made the purchases on??? This is getting beyond ridiculous, and I'm really fed up with throwing money away on money I cannot listen to.

DRM protected I’ve purchased a song in iTunes but I can’t use it for my project in iMovie and every time I tried, the app shows the following message: Song Unavailable: This song is DRM protected and can’t be used by iMovie. How come ?

Get rid of exclamation points Almost all my nearly 23,000 tracks have exclamation points. When I click one it says "The song XX could not be used because the original file could not be found. Would you like to locate it?" I can hit "locate" and find the file no no problem. Track plays. Exclamation mark goes away. Alternatively if it "cancel"the track plays and the mark goes away. Trouble is I can't do this >20,000 times. Any ideas? Thanks! With the marks there, the songs get skipped over when playing, and it seems to be limiting my ability to edit the song info, ratings, etc.

If they were purchased from the iTunes Store 2009 or earlier, or if they were obtained as part of an Apple Music streaming subscription, they are DRM (Digital Rights Management) protected. If you need tracks that can be used in other applications, you will need to buy normal downloads.

Songs purchased in iTunes are copy-protected.
