I would like to buy an album for someone as a birthday gift, but I don't know what their itunes account related email address is. Can I buy it as a code to give to them so they can redeem and download like a "digital copy" dvd from a store? I don't want to ask them what their itunes email is because they will know I am buying them a gift and I don't want to get them an itunes gift card because gift cards suck as birthday presents.

Yeah, I knew I would get someone who would give me this link. I said I don't know their email address that they use for itunes. Therefore, I cannot risk this option because if I send it to the wrong email address, they may not be able to redeem my gift. I want to send them a code that they can use to download the album I bought for them.

Very perceptive of you.

If you have already made the purchase using your Apple ID then you cannot transer it to another Apple ID.
Ok, I really want to thank you for trying to answer my question, but it seems as though I have not asked my question clearly enough, so I am going to try again:
I see an album in the itunes store that I want to give to a friend of mine. I have not purchased the album.
I do not know the email address they use for itunes, so if I buy it from itunes as a gift, I might send it to the wrong email address and they will not be able to receive it.
I have seen inserts in "dvd and digital copy" movies purchased from a store that have a long code that people use to activate their digital copy so they can take their movie with them on itunes.
I was wondering if it is possible to buy an album as a gift and somehow receive a code that I can email to my friend so they can activate and download the album from their own account. Does this make sense?

Can I send an album gift as a code?
