Old iTunes Purchases

I have a bunch of music I purchased before iTunes offered the re-download options. I backed them up on external harddrives and am hoping to reimport...but is there anyway to get Apple to re-recognize them in my account so I can easily download on other devices?

Dani,

If they are purchased files from 2013, they they are normal unprotected AAC audio files. Just add them to the library on your computer and sync your devices. If you don't have a subscription, sync by direct connect:
