Missing tracks from previously paid iTunes download

Question

Hello,

I have purchased one or two iTunes albums and paid the full price for the full album.

BUT I have noticed of recent that one or two tracks have "greyed-out" and I cannot play them, directly as before.

When I tap on the tracks in question, I am prompted with the option to listen them, if I pay for a monthly Apple Music Plan.......

Any ideas how to get these full previous purchased reinstalled ?

Thanks !

iPhone 15 Pro, iOS 18

See if Apple Support's online article can help:

NB: Article also says: "Any digital media you buy from Apple can be permanently downloaded on to an iPhone, iPad, Mac, or Windows PC". Learn more.

You may have stored a back-up of your downloaded music.

Song is grayed out

If the song was purchased from the iTunes Store, authorize your computer to play iTunes Store purchases.
If you see No Longer Available next to a song that's grayed out, the song was added from Apple Music and was removed from the Apple Music catalog.
To authorize your computer read this :
