Have 1 tune in a series of downloads that wants re-authorization

Scenario: Downloaded a handful of tunes.

Problem: 1 will not play - wants re-authorization:


Message:

"This computer is not authorized to play ..."


Its the only one acting this way.

It is recognized as already authorized, if I enter the username & password to try to re-authorize it.

Ideas?

OS X Mountain Lion (10.8.4)

Thanks - the knowledgebase search on this was chasing one's tail.


Deleting the music file - deleted it off the desktop iTunes acct. But it did not redownload it with the new attempt.

The message is that all music for this acct was downloaded. It DID download to the associated iPad & plays.


When I had the file - it wanted re-authorization.

Authorizing it - got me a massage that said I was already authorized.


All the other music from that same download arrived fine.

I've been holding off until now because I can't find the email notification for the music downloaded, possibly deleted it. A search of email does not find it.
