Not every artist is smitten with iTunes or the other "legal" music downloading sites, so the short answer is iTunes simply doesn't have permission to offer the song/album for download.

Here's an odd example: They have a lot of Jimmy Buffett's older catalogue, but nothing of his newer stuff. Of course, absolutely no AC/DC, Tool, The Beatles or Garth Brooks, all of whom are against music downloading.

There may be a few reasons for this.

  1. The track you dragged onto iTunes was copied into iTunes (drag and drop) and the original file wad deleted off of the hard drive. Since that song was not bought on iTunes, it uses the song on the hard drive as the primary file source to play the track.
  2. The file of the song is corrupted or damaged in some way, and you need to get a working copy of the song.
  3. The song is not a format able to be played by iTunes (usually a Windows Media Player format).
