Authorizing Computer

I have a new MBP and I can play most of the music in the Music App. But some songs say, "This computer is not authorized to play ..." I then enter my Apple ID and password and get the message, "This computer had previously been authorized, it has been re-authorized." But after clicking OK, it still won't let me play the song and tells me I need to authorize. This is only happening on some songs though. Most seem to play just fine. I have restarted Music and restarted the MBP. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

MacBook Pro 14″, macOS 12.5

Repeated requests to authorize an already authorized computer for recent 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.
