Which songs are 'not authorized'?

When I plug my iPhone 6 into my computer, iTunes says I have 63 tunes that are not authorized to play on the iPhone, but it won't give an option to list which ones they are. I'd like to be able to identify them, for complicated reasons. Is there a way to find this out?

iPhone 6, iOS 8.3, 64 GB ram

Autochthon,


Put your iTunes Music library in Songs view, and look at the column for "Kind." (If you don't have a column for Kind, add it by going to View > View Options > Show Columns.) The songs with the word "Protected" are the ones that cannot play if they are not authorized.
