music transferred to a new mac wont play

I purchased a new macbook pro to replace my other one. When I transferred the music files a large group of them and the "not authorized to play on this Mac" message. I've tried authorizing and de authorizing both computers but to no avail.Any other ideas

MacBook Pro 13″, macOS 12.2

Repeated requests to authorize an already authorized computer for store downloads typically indicates you have corrupt or incomplete copies. Backup and then 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 Music 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.
