Songs 'not authorized' when downloaded in iTunes?

Why do some songs are 'not authorized' after being downloaded, and I can't even listen to them? And how can I make them work? The password and Apple ID doesn't seem to do a thing.

Authorize or deauthorize a computer
Do any of the following:

Authorize a computer to play iTunes Store purchases: Choose Store > Authorize This Computer.

Deauthorize a computer: Choose Store > Deauthorize This Computer.


Deauthorize a computer to play spoken programs purchased from the Audible website: Choose Store > Deauthorize Audible Account.


If you forgot to deauthorize a computer you no longer own, and you have five authorized computers: You can deauthorize all your authorized computers at once. You can use this method once a year.

Sign in to the iTunes Store, choose Store > View My Apple ID, and click Deauthorize All. If you don’t see this option, it’s because you have fewer than five authorized computers.
