Sharing purchased music on multiple devices

I have my library of purchased songs or albums under on Apple ID (#1 for simplicity). At work I have been asked to use for my iPhone a new ID (#2) so the question is:

  1. If I buy new music on another device with ID #1 how can I download into the other device with ID #2
  2. if I buy from ID #2 can I make available also on devices with ID #1
  3. I assigned to ID #1 the ‘family’ feature how the new items will be loaded in all other devices under the ID #1

thanks

  1. You can setup Family Sharing to share purchased between the Apple IDs. click here ➜ How to download apps and content that your family members purchased - Apple Support
  2. Yes. With Family Sharing purchases can shared back and forth, though only the Apple ID set as the family Organizer will be charged for the purchases regardless of where they are initiated from.
  3. The same way they are now. Family Sharing does not affect devices signed in to the same Apple ID. Purchases will continue to appear there as they have without any change.
