Is there anyway to redownload without buying music that you had purchased and downloaded from the iTunes Music Store but lost?

Well that's annoying. Fortunately I don't think I actually lost anything, it's just not in my Purchased Music playlist anymore.

Edit: Ooh, I can just add it back in. Why didn't I think of that before?

Ah crap. I just lost my first track to itunes music store oblivion. Just at the end of the download it kicked up some error saying there was a problem downloading the track, but when I checked for purchased music none was available. I suppose it's only 79p, no biggy.

I'm on dial-up which doesn't help matters. Has anyone else lost tracks in this way? Anyone know if there is a limit on the number of times you can check for purchased music, start the download, have it fail for whatever reason, then check again? I think I was on my third attempt due to loss of internet connection.

Email store support and they'll probably let you redownload the file.

I've lost one track before, but it was a free song, and it was my fault for trying to download it on an unreliable connection... Apple really should make purchasing songs a more atomic operation though.
I bring order to chaos. You are in chaos windows, you are the contradiction, a bug wishing to be an OS.

If a download doesn't complete for whatever reason, generally you can redownload it by selecting "Check for Purchased Music..." from the Advanced menu in iTunes.
