I have some albums in Apple Music and iTunes that won't play, saying my computer is not authorized to play them. I understand this happens when more than 5 devices are authorized. But I only have 4 devices authorized. How do I fix this?
Repeated requests to authorize an already authorized computer for 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.
See Authorization vs. association - Apple Community for more on authorization and association limits.

It happens when the device you are trying to play them on is not authorized. You can have a maximum of 10 devices authorized, out of which a maximum of 5 can be computers.
If a specific device such as your computer is issuing the not authorized message, then you need to authorize it.
