Authorization Help

The Itunes player won't allow me to listen to a song I have purchased. It keeps asking me to authorize my computer. My Itunes account shows I have one computer "Authorized", in yet it doesn't show you the list of computers. I have authorized the computer i'm using and it still doesn't let me play a song I have purchased.....help me please

Computer "Authorization" issue Hi, I recently purchased a number of new songs for the holidays. All purchases went through fine, and all songs show up in my iTunes library on my computer hard drive. One song however will not play. It always generates a "This computer is not authorized to play ______ would you like to authorize it now? I have authorized/deauthorized and re-authorized my computer numerous times to no avail. The only difference I notice now is that when I 'manage devices' in My Account, my computer is no longer listed, my iPod and iPad are, but my laptop no longer shows up. ALL of my music plays fine except for one recently purchase song. Any ideas?

Authorizing music Whenever I click this particular song I keep getting asked to authorize my iTunes on this computer. Then iTunes tells me that I have already authorized it. Then I click play on the song and it asks me to authorize it. Then I authorize it and its says I've already authorized this computer.... and so on. It won't play, but it is authorized... or is it? Help me please!

That song is corrupt. Delete and redownload or reimport it.

Oh, ok. How do I do that? Does that mean I have to repurchase the song?
