Hello,


I assume you have already authorized your computer but if not the first article linked below gives instructions. If you already had, the second article gives additional instructions.


Authorize or deauthorize your computer for iTunes Store purchases - Apple Support


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


I hope this helps.

Removed from iTunes Store, Perhaps?:

Sometimes, items are removed from the iTunes Store, and they never become accessible again. It all has to do with licensing between Apple and the Developer or Studio. Moreover, it is something you would have agreed to, upon purchasing the item. That's just the way it is :(
