Not authorized to play one song in library

[eryque]

I've searched the forum (and googled the rest of the internet) and can't find the solution to my problem.

The issue is that iTunes says that I'm not authorized to play one song in particular in my library. The song is on an album that I purchased through the iTunes Store, and the rest of the songs will play.

Each time I try to play this particular song, it says that I'm not authorized and requests my username and password. I enter them, but still can't play the song.

Does anyone know of a solution to this?

Thanks!

Eric

This song was purchased under a different username.

You can look at your purchase history in your iTunes account and see if you did purchase the song. If you did, then report the issue to Apple and they will help you fix it.

Nope, the song was purchased under the same username, as was the rest of the album. I've only had one username for iTunes.

I did find the email link to contact Apple, though. Thanks for that suggestion. :-)

I had this same problem just yesterday. I unauthorized my computer than reauthorized it and than it worked.

I have heard that you cannot authorize more than 5 computers for playing one and the same purchased song (please correct me if I am wrong). Maybe you have tried to play this particular song on numerous computers (after having to enter your Apple ID and pass)?

Umm old thread, as usual around here. Anyway, current itunes song downloads are not DRM protected so no need to worry about authorisation. I think it was in fact around 2009 that this was dropped iirc.
