So I had an Apple Music Store account at my old job. Authorized the max number of people to play my music across the network. Well now I've transported the music to my new job and new Mac. But since I've already given up my 5 users count I can't play it on this machine.
I started a new account so any future purchase will be playabe.
But is there anyway you can contact Apple or otherwise so I can play these songs? That I paid for?
thanks

I know it says I have to deauthorize one of the other comps so I can play on this one. But if the old office is closed there's no way to do that.

First, I don't understand why you had to authorize people to listen to your music over the network. Anyone can listen to your shared music through iTunes. They just cant copy the music over to their computer for their own enjoyment. So why did you do that?
Second, you can email the iTunes help people through the support in iTunes or on apple.com somewhere and have them de-activate all those other computers. Just tell them your story and they'll do that for you.

actually after a little investigating I discovered the "deauthorize all" button on your account profile. Automatically boots all the other comps off the account. No need to contact Apple. Which I'm happy about because I'd probably never hear back.

You can't listen to music downloaded from iTunes Store over a network without also authorising the remote Macs, found that out a few days ago, most sucky indeed.

Wait, really?! You can't listen to someone's shared music stream if it's songs bought off that store? That's fucking bogus. Sorry about my repsonse then.
