changing iTunes libraries

When my son first got his iPad, he was signed into my iTunes account and added a lot of music from my library to his iTunes and his iPad. Now he has his own iTunes account and, while all the songs from both libraries still show up in iTunes on his laptop, when he syncs his iPad, it appears that only the songs from his library will sync; all the songs he got from me won't show up. Is there any way around this?

Items acquired with one Apple ID cannot be transferred or merged with another Apple ID. The only option you have is to use Family Sharing (if it will work in your case).

Set up Family Sharing - Apple Support


However, I am not sure this will work with iTunes on a PC. You may need to have your music library on a Mac.
