Many Songs: This computer is not authorized...

I have 103 albums purchased from Apple that will not play. They all say the following:

“This computer is not authorized to play (Title of song or album) Would you like to authorize it?” When I do authorize it I continue getting the “Not authorized message”. I have only one Mac authorized and all older Macs were deauthorized before wiping them. The only other devices that are authorized are my iPad and iPhone 15


When I check my Music account Computer Authorizations says; “One machine is authorized to play content purchased with this account”


When I try to view my purchases of no longer authorized music, no music purchases appear for any year selected. For example, one music purchase made in 2014 does not appear.


I’ve tried Reset the Music Store cache with no luck. Reauthorizing my Mac (still 1 machine is authorized)

Usually when that happens (for a few songs) it means that song file its corrupted somehow. The usual fix is to deleter the song (or album) and redownload it. However I'm surprised it happens for that many songs. By any chance, have you changed your Apple ID?
