Is there a way to download all iTunes purchases all at once?

I'm trying to get all the purchases onto a new computer. I've gone to past purchases in iTunes, and I see the list of all artists that are not on my computer.
Right now I'm downloading one artist at a time.

Is there a way to download all the purchased music all at once?

This is a nice collection - there must be several hundred artists.

Thanks

Yes. If you click "All Songs" in the upper-left corner of the screen when you're in the iTunes store looking at "Purchases," there's a "Download all" button in the bottom right-hand corner. Click that, and you're done.

Strung - I am trying to download previous purchases from the iTunes store as quickly as possible.

Akahan - There is no "All Songs" in the upper left. There is a search field.
I wrote the word "All" in the search box. That produced a lot of results, but not all the songs.

This is Mac Lion with iTunes 10.6.1

The Download all is not showing. I am wondering if signing up for iTunes Match is a prerequisite for this.

It can't be, because I haven't signed up for it.
Are you sure you followed the directions I have above exactly? You may have to scroll down to see it. Does your screen otherwise look like the screen shot I posted?

I am willing to accept that this is a computer mystery.
