how do you change old email address to access purchased songs

I purchased songs on an old email address 10 years ago. Then just recently got a new computer, activated the new computer, but it won't let me play these songs from the old email address.

Windows, Windows 6

Purchases are permanently tied to the Apple ID they were bought from and cannot be transferred to a NEW Apple ID. However, if you CHANGE your Apple ID, they will transfer over.

Even. if you do not have access to your old emai; account, you should be able to change it as long as you remember what your old password was.
