i cannot play music. songs are grayed out

I’ve check for DRM and it doesn’t say protected. When I try to play the song it say no longer available in my area, but other songs from the same album are fine. And iTunes was already on my iPhone when I got it.

If iTunes songs are greyed out, you should have a check whether they are DRM protected.

In iTunes, choose the greyed-out song > right-click it and select

Get Info > check out Kind under File tab.

It if shows “ Protected” next to Kind, this means the song is DRM protected or not supported.

Try signing out of the iTunes Store on the device and then try syncing your library to it again.

Otherwise see this post on erratic syncing.

Where did you get iTunes from? See the reply to:

Unknown error 0xe800000a itunes - Apple Community

Need more help. The songs were purchased and are now grayed out. How can I fix that?

I know its a very old comment, but you sir (or madam) have just made my day....iTunes....why couldnt you just leave stuff alone when you had it working???
