I Tunes downloads

After downloading an album from I Tunes when I try to play it it tells me the computer is not authorized. I then reauthorize it. It then tells me the computer is already authorized but when I try to play it again it does the same thing. Some songs play but not all.

Windows, Windows 10

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.
