this might be an issue - do you have some tracks stored on your PC and others on the netstore? as well as keep "iTunes media folder organized" and " Copy files to iTunes media folder when adding to library" unchecked in iTunes advanced properties? This could be the issue because your library is spread over multiple places, maybe if you consolidated the library to just the netstore? Or maybe, is the portion of your library that does not show up in a odd format like ogg?

If you can play the tracks from your pc that you purchased then it is working, just need to work out why the other tracks are not showing up.
