When "my account" says 2 computers are authorized to play content purchased with this Apple ID.
Does this include iPads and iPhones? What is considered a "computer"?

Hi Legeis,
Thank you for using the Apple Support Communities. We see you have a question about device authorization and what counts as a computer. That's a great question and we're glad to provide an answer.
This resource has some great information about the topic: Authorize or deauthorize your computer for iTunes Store purchases
"When you authorize your Mac or PC, you give it permission to access your music, movies, and other content.
- You can authorize up to 5 computers, which means that you can play your content on 5 different computers."
"About authorizing other Apple devices
You don’t need to authorize your iPhone, iPad, iPod touch, or other Apple device. These devices don’t use your available authorizations. Learn how to check your Apple ID device list to see where you're signed in and how to remove a device."
Based on the above, Mac and Windows-based computers would count as a computer, but iPad and iOS devices don't count toward your 5 authorized computers.
Best wishes.
