Itunes purchases say my computer isn't authorized to play

I just bought music. When I go to play, three of the songs tell me that my computer isn't authorized to play those songs. I reauthorize and I get a message that this computer is already authorized. Each time I want to listen to the song I have to reauthorize and I can't burn them to cd because of this issue.

Help... I am getting more and more frustrated with iTunes. I used to be able to call someone and get immediate help. Can't seem to do that anymore.

Repeated requests to authorize an already authorized computer for recent store downloads typically indicates you have corrupt or incomplete copies. Delete the tracks that won't play from your library without hiding from your purchase history. Redownload using the cloud links that should remain, or close iTunes and reopen if they don't show up straight away. While downloading click the activity widget and turn off the option that allows for simultaneous downloads.

If that hasn't helped see If iTunes prompts you to authorize your computer when you try to play iTunes Store purchases - Apple Support.
