Repeated requests to authorize an already authorized computer for recent store downloads typically indicates you have corrupt or incomplete copies. Delete the tracks that won't play from your library without hiding from your purchase history. Redownload using the cloud links that should remain, or close iTunes and reopen if they don't show up straight away. While downloading click the activity widget and turn off the option that allows for simultaneous downloads.
If that hasn't helped see If iTunes prompts you to authorize your computer when you try to play iTunes Store purchases - Apple Support.

That link takes one to advice for Windows.
Deleting a track made it disappear from the screen, but not findable in the cloud. sigh.
Close iTunes/Music and then reopen. If the removed item still doesn't show check for hidden purchases.

Forgive for being dim, but where/how does one find 'hidden purchases'. Help in itunes was of no help.
