Re - downloading purchased music not an option.

I have purchased and downloaded an album from I-Tunes. The music is no longer in my Music library. When checking with I tunes, the Album shows a purchased, though it is greyed out. There is no option to re-download the music. Thoughts?

I Can't Re-download Bought Album on Apple Music I've been trying to re-download an album on Apple Music (on Mac Studio) and haven't been successful. Going to the "Purchases" section of the "Account" button on the upper left of my screen and clicking the download button doesn't work, as well. Can anyone help me out? I really don't want to lose access to my music on Mac.

Is there no way to re-download purchased music?? I bought an album in 2017 from apple music/itunes. I deleted it at one point, but now decided I want it back in my music collection. I can't re-buy it, as the link in the apple music store just shows "purchased." I contacted support and they had no idea. They couldn't send me a download link despite it appearing in my purchase history and having an order number. They said someone would have to call me and then do screen share or something. I'm not sure why this is so complicated. It's not an unusual or complex issue. I guess I'll just have to re-buy the album somewhere else and then put it into my collection?

M Square,

Re-downloading is normally possible if you are still using the same Apple ID, are in the same country, and the content is still available in the iTunes Store.

If all those are true and you still can't do the re-download, contact Apple Support.
