Hey Escargo01,

Thanks for the question. If I understand correctly, you purchased music in iTunes and they are grayed out and will not play. I would recommend that you read these articles, they may be helpful in troubleshooting your issue.

Songs containing DRM (Digital Rights Management) might not appear in iCloud, or might appear grayed out. This can occur if your computer is not authorized to play that content. Authorize your computer, then manually update iTunes Match.
