I have purchased music on iTunes but when I try to play it or download it iTunes tells me to authorise my pc ( which I continue to do) but iTunes still wont let me play or download my songs. Can anyone help?

iPad mini, iOS 12

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.
