Old work email account and forgotten password

I purchased a substantial amount of music through my old work email account. I cannot remember my password. I left that company back in 2008 and would like to recover all that music. As I no longer work for that company my email address has been deleted so I cannot activate password recovery. How can I retrieve this music?

Songs purchased with an email that no longer exists I need to know how I get around the following problem. Some years ago I purchased some songs and albums in iTunes when I had a certain ic24 email address. That email has not existed for some years. Today when setting up my new iPhone, it told me the items bought under that old email could not be authorised unless I entered the password for that account! Now there is no way that I can remember the password after all this time, but even if I did, the account and even the ISP ic24 has not existed for a long time anyway, so I had to skip over it when setting up my new iPhone. However, how do I get access to those old purchases now? And if I I was to try the 'forgot password' link, it would attempt to send a reset password link to an email that doesn't exist, so that can't work either. So how do I get authorisation for music I purchased long ago when I had a different email address? Thank you.

iTunes account on pc computer Hi, hoping to retrieve an old iTunes account that I used on an old hp laptop. Is there a way to retrieve the music I purchased if I don't remember my password? This was before Apple ID, I think. I tried the email that I was using at the time (10 or 12 years ago now) and my name and nothing comes up. Any thoughts? Thank you!

Getting into old apple ID pre-email addresses Hello, I purchased a lot of music with an apple ID that was not an email address. This was from ~2006-2009. I can't log in to it because I have no email address connected to it so I can't play that music on other devices. Any ideas how to gain access? -EW
