How do I authorize my Mac for Itunes

For some reason, my relatively new Mac gives me a message in iTunes that certain songs or albums are not authorized on this device and that I must authorize it. How do I do that?

iMac 24″, macOS 14.2

Open the Music app, which has replaced the old iTunes app.

In the Account menu, select Authorizations and select Authorize This Computer ... and log in to the same Apple ID there that was used to obtain the music. Your computer can be authorized for multiple Apple IDs.
