Redownloading songs and albums

I had to make room in my storage by deleting albums for a software update. Now i cant redownload. It just says purchased but no option to download. I miss the days when Apple products were simple, and Siri could actually get things right. If anyone knows a simple solution or a way to play itunes purchases on android.

Why can't I redownload all of my purchased songs from iTunes? when I go to try and redownload purchased music from iTunes the download album button seems to only download one song at a time. Even try the download all buttons are not downloading everything. Not sure when this started but it is making it difficult to redownload music. I have also noticed when I do get an album downloaded by doing each song the songs are not staying together as one album even if they are all from the same album. Lots of oddness.

Apple Music songs missing from purchased albums / iTunes Store shows purchased but won't allow download iPhone 13 Pro Max iOS 16.6 / iPad Pro 3rd Gen iOS 16.6 Most of my music is purchased in iTunes Store on my iPhone. But, when I go to Music, tracks are missing from many of the albums. When I go to iTunes Store, the same albums will show "Purchased" greyed out at the top and any song that is not downloaded shows a blue "Purchased" button that doesn't do anything. The songs that are already downloaded show "Play". (see attached image) I have tried everything that other users have offered as solutions in other posts, but nothing works. I always used to be able to go into iTunes and download music again, as long as the Apple ID was the same. But not anymore. I have also tried deleting an album from Apple Music app, but I still cannot download the album again. (I am not using an Apple Music subscription...these are purchased albums I have bought and owned for years). Please help! This is so frustrating.
