Q: I bought an album in the iTunes store about two years ago. I recently got a new computer and want to download that same album into its library. The problem is that only three of the songs appear as purchased and I'm asked to buy them all over again.

Authorize the new computer using iTunes.
Instructions here > Authorize your computer in iTunes - Apple Support
"The problem is that only three of the songs appear as purchased and I'm asked to buy them all over again."
If you see that dialog again after authorizing the computer, it means the songs were purchased using a different Apple ID.
Use these steps to see which Apple ID you used to download an item.
