using a different apple id for music from what I use for iCloud

I have had 2 different apple id for several years. 1 for home iMac and 1 for my business MacBook air. However, I want to be able to play my music via iTunes Match, which is through my home apple id, on my business laptop. Can I use one apple ID for Music and another for iCloud? Thanks

iMac 21.5″, macOS 10.13

Hello DLG52,


It sounds like you want to use one Apple ID for the Music application on your MacBook Air and use another Apple ID for iCloud. We’d be glad to help with this.


As long as you sign in with the Apple ID that is subscribed to iTunes Match in the Music application of your MacBook Air, then using two separate Apple IDs in this way is possible. This resource has more information about how to do this on your MacBook Air: Set up and view an iTunes Store account in Music on Mac


Then, follow the “Use iTunes Match” section here: Subscribe to iTunes Match


Feel free to get back to us with any other questions or concerns you may have.


Take care.
