Q: Can't retrieve iTunes match songs.

Ok short version:  I lost half an album somehow.

 

Long version:  a few months ago I subscribed to itunes match, which obviously loaded all my music to iCloud.  Today I'm trying to download a certain green day album.  About a third of the songs on the album download without a problem.  The rest refuse to download, bringing up a box telling me I should subscribe to apple music.  I don't want apple music, which is why I let it expire.  I have no idea why this should be an issue, because I uploaded this album long before apple music was even a thing!!!  Also, when I go into 'properties'  of the elusive songs, it says they are in fact uploaded to the cloud.

 

I can't download these songs, nor can I play them right off the cloud.  I just receive the same message suggesting that I join apple music.   Does anyone out there maybe know what's going on here?  I thought I was done with this crappy apple music thing, but apparently it's still haunting me...

 

Thanks,
