Q: How to transfer or share music from one iTunes iPhone to another iPhone with a different Apple ID?

When my son was younger he would get the music he wanted under my Apple ID on his iPod. Now he's older and has his own Apple ID. He still wants his music we paid for, which is tied to my Apple ID. Is there anyway to share or just transfer from one Apple ID to another on the device? I've read about sharing and authorizing on computers, but we don't have another computer to set up. Thank you all in advance!

iPhone 5s, iOS 7.1.2, and iPhone 4s

    You can't transfer music (nor any other content) from one account to another account, it will remain tied to the account that downloaded it. Also home sharing only works from a computer to a device (or to another computer), it doesn't work between iOS devices.

     

    Depending upon what country that you are in (music can't be redownloaded in all countries) then he could potentially log into your account on his iPod (I assume that it's an iPod Touch) and redownload his music on it, but that might tie his iPod to your account for 90 days : iTunes Store: Associating a device or computer to your Apple ID.
