iTunes - Authorize this computer

In this digital day and age, I find it frustrating that apple limits you to 5 devices authorized on the iTunes/Apple ID account. I have multiple devices such as an iphone, iwatch, sonos, ipad, pc laptop and an iMac. I have to deauthorize a device each time I want to use another. Apple, please update this limiting feature from your account structure, or provide a work around.

Trying to find the 5 authorized devices in my account to play iTunes. All it offers me is 'de-authorize all'. I'd like to add a PC as an Authorized device to play iTunes. I'm at my limit of 5 so I'd like to de-authorize one or more. It doesn't give me the option to choose which. Only to ask if I'd like to de-authorize all.

I have a windows pc that I needed to deauthorize as I was restructuring my equipment and now when I try to reauthorize it.. apple tells me I have 5 computers authorize.. according to my notebook and only has 3 computers listed. How do I fix? I am trying to restructure my itunes as I have moved from my previous location and in doing so.. I am trying to simplify the environment. I had this itunes library on an older pc... now when I try to authorize on a new pc, it tells me that I have exceeded the 5 that I can have but when I look at the list, I only have my notebook, and one other device. It does not allow me to authorize as it says I have more than 5. Any ideas how I can get this authorized?

Computer Auth iTunes/Apple Music/Apple TV Why can I only authorize 5 devices? Does Apple really think I own less than 5 devices? Also why can I only deauthorize devices once a year? Because I authed my work computer I can no no longer auth my personal Studio. This is stupid.
