Missing entire purchased albums with no option to redownload.

Greetings,


Recently with the added updates to the IOS and Mac, I realized I was missing more than one albums that I had purchased and there is no redownload option. The entire album and songs are gone from my data and will not let me redownload them. iTunes store for the music just shows that the albums are purchased with no option to redownload. My playlists are all messed up because of this screw up. This is very frustrating as I can no longer listen to favorite songs on my playlists.

Purchased Items Missing:

IF it is not seen in the iTunes Store, then it has likely been removed from their Library. Sometimes, Apple removed items from their library, and they never becomes accessible again. This all comes down to licensing between Apple and the Music Studio --something you would have agreed to upon opening an Apple Account.
