Hi - please forgive me if this question has already been asked (if it has been, I couldn't find it).

I've been having an occasional problem with the iTunes store. Some of the songs (perhaps 3%) are downloading to my library without their playback permission. When I try to play these songs back, I get an error message stating that my computer is not authorized to play that song.

However, I purchased these songs with that same computer, using the same Apple ID that I had used to authorize the computer in the first place.

Deleting the song and redownloading it, or switching to a different library, downloading the song, and importing it to the primary library, usually makes the song playable -- most of the time.

Has anyone else had this problem? How do you fix it?

Thanks in advance!
