Authorize Computer Again?

I have recently purchased several albums from the iTunes store. However a number, greater than 1, of songs when I try to play them require me to reauthorize my computer, a PC. And even when I do this the songs will no play. What is wrong? This is becoming agrivating!

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.
