Buying an album a second time

I am trying to redownload an old album I have purchased back in 2014, but iTunes is telling me that I only own 2 songs out of 37. In my library, the usual download button is replaced by a price for each of the songs that I "do not own". Is there a fix for this ?

Is there no way to re-download purchased music?? I bought an album in 2017 from apple music/itunes. I deleted it at one point, but now decided I want it back in my music collection. I can't re-buy it, as the link in the apple music store just shows "purchased." I contacted support and they had no idea. They couldn't send me a download link despite it appearing in my purchase history and having an order number. They said someone would have to call me and then do screen share or something. I'm not sure why this is so complicated. It's not an unusual or complex issue. I guess I'll just have to re-buy the album somewhere else and then put it into my collection?

Redownloading Purchased Music There is an album I bought a while ago that I am struggling to redownload. At some point, some songs on the album stopped working. About halfway through a song, it would skip to a next song, and some songs would just not play, giving a message saying "content not authorized." To try to fix it, I decided to delete and redownload the songs. After removing the songs form my library, I went to the iTunes store, went to the album's page, and there was no option to redownload or even repurchase the album. Where the purchase button usually is there is a grayed out button that says "purchased." In the iTunes Store app, I've tried going to More > Purchased > Music to try redownloading it from there, however the album does not appear there either. I've also tried signing in and out of my Apple ID to see if that refreshes it. I'm confused as to why it doesn't show up in my purchase history when iTunes seems to know I've purchased it before based on the album's store page. Any ideas or help towards fixing this?
