They're corrupt. Delete and redownload or reimport them.

PC Not Authorized to Play Song? Is anyone else having issues with a PC not being authorized to play a song? I can play other songs with no issue, but get a prompt to authorize the computer with others. I type in username and password only to be prompted that the computer is already authorized. When I go to play the song, I receive the prompt to authorize again. This is with music purchased and downloaded.

I purchased a new song but can't play it because a prompt tells me the computer isn't authorized. The problem os that it is authorized. No matter how many times I re-authorize it, I get the same prompt, and can't play the song. For the first time ever, I received a prompt about the conputer not being authorized to play a new song I purchased. The problem is that my computer is authorized to play, and in fact, is the only computer. No matter how many times I re-authoroze it, I get a prompt that tells me the computer was already authorized, but when I try playing the song, I get the not authorized prompt and can't play the song. It's an endless loop that won't allow me to play that purchased song.
