Apple Event: May 7th at 7 am PT
I recently switched my email address and now I'm unable to play certain songs that I previously purchased in iTunes; it's saying I need to "authorize" these songs using my old email in order to play them. I don't have access to my old email and my old passwords don't seem to work. Any ideas? Please and thank you.

Purchases are forever tied to the Apple ID they were purchased from unless you CHANGE your Apple ID according to:
Change your Apple ID - Apple Support
and
What to do after you change your Apple ID or password - Apple Support
Purchases cannot be transferred to a new Apple ID. You may still be able to change your Apple ID as long as you know your old email and password even if you don't have access to your old email. Its worth a try if you really need your old purchases.
