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?

How do I get access to music purchased with old apple ID? I have a ton of music connected to an old Apple ID, but I don't have the old password and I don't have access to the email connected to that ID (I switched from Yahoo to Gmail). This music was bought on iTunes. I have contacted Apple customer support, but it seems there's nothing that can be done. This is a big bummer as I wasted a lot of money buying music from Apple.

I am not able to access my Apple itune music on my PC. I tried to sign in but the old email address is disused for a long time. Can Apple re-write my new email address to send me the permission to log-in. Thank you I find that I am not able to access Apple itune music on my PC ( I could do so not so long ago). I tried to sign in to Apple ID, but found that the e-mail that I registered with has been discontinued a year or two back. Can Apple re-write my new e-mail address so I could log-in to recover my store of Apple music? Need instructions. Thank you.

authorizing a song 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.
