Can't get downloads to play

I recently downloaded 3 albums and had a lot of trouble doing so . It took about 4 days m/l. It was my internet connection which was just too **** slow. Anyhow, I completed the downloads and now about 10 of the 35 songs will play (all of those show duplicates in my library) and the rest of them will not. When I click to select them I get a dialogue box stating I'm not authorized to play them and asking for my user name and password. When I submit them, I get another dialogue stating that this computer is already authorized. No matter how many times I submit it, I get the same message and the tracks will not play. I will be transferring this library to a new computer (as soon as it gets here) and I don't want to transfer corrupt files. When I go to the store I'm told I don't have any songs available to download.


So...how do I fix this?


Grazzi!

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.
