Is It Possible to Have Multiple Apple Accounts?

Those credentials are more than 10 years old. But, I was having this trouble 4-5 years ago at least.

Apple told me that those items I can no longer play were bought under different account info, so unless I could come up with that info, I was out of luck. I was told this in these forums, and over the phone by an Apple rep.

I thought that by finding those old address and passwords, I'd be able to access my now-unplayable songs. But, the Music app still rejected those credentials. So, it seems that even having that older info on-hand does me no good.

I thought that maybe-maybe-maybe by setting up different accounts under my name with that old info, I might then be able to play those songs. Hence the original post. However, it later occurred to me that since those e-mail address are no longer functioning, and that info's probably been wiped clean by the respective ISPs, using those address would do me no good anyway, as I'd not be able to get any confirmation messages from Apple.

I'll look into the info provided here, but I have two other recourses for playing these songs.

Thanks.

"You do not say what made you think Apple would not accept the credentials for the old account. Whre exactly did it fail, and with what messages?"

The Music app itself rejected those older credentials.

To provide a little more of an explanation, last time I spoke to an Apple rep (this was on the phone), I was told that since those email addresses were lost (I'd long since forgotten that info), I was out of luck. But, I recently found the old e-mail confirmations from Apple containing the e-mail addies and passwords. I thought that would work, but then the Music app rejected them.

Anyway, thanks for the info provided guys! Appreciate it. I'll give some of that a shot and see what happens.

No, but I'll try to explain, step-by-step, what happened.

My current credentials work. But, because ~77 items were bought under different credentials (now-defunkt e-mail addresses and passwords), those items will no longer play. Apple people here and on the phone told me that, unless I could come up with that old info, I was out of luck.

I recently came across that info in old e-mails I didn't know I'd saved. So, I said myself, "Self, you can try these old address and accompanying passwords, and maybe you'll be able to play your old stuff!" So, I tried the old info.

I double-clicked on an unplayable item, and this came up (as usual):

This is when I tried one of my old address and passwords. I was then greeted with "Your Apple ID or password is incorrect."

Hence my original post.
