Question

This computer is not authorized to play...

I paid for and downloaded from iTunes to my PC a 2009 album Inspiration by Mayuko Katakura. The down load was successful. All the tunes on the album play except one - "Blues For Tyner" . Everytime I try to play this selection, I get the "This computer is not authorized to play "Blues For Tyner". I've gone through all the iTunes authorization protocols and even deleted the SC folder and restarted my PC. I still get this message when I try to play the tune.

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.

If that hasn't helped see If iTunes prompts you to authorize your computer when you try to play iTunes Store purchases - Apple Support.
