Device Authorization Error and Unable to Redownload Purchase

I have logged into iTunes with my Apple ID and attempt to play music downloaded to my device. I receive and requirement to log-in and authorize my device. I do so, and attempt to play the file. I continually receive the same log-in for authorization requirement.


I also have a purchase that I am unable to re-download and is not available for me to download from my purchase history in iTunes. The album reflects in the purchase history, but the file is not available to re-download.

Windows, Windows 10

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 for Windows prompts you to authorize your computer when you try to play purchases - Apple Support.
