You don't get around it.

You have to wait 90 days if you have been using a different account.

Is the music not on your computer?

It is telling you that the device has been associated with another Apple ID. Once an Apple ID has been associated with a device, there is a 90-day waiting period before another Apple ID can be associated with that device. Here is a Support Article that explains the 90-day waiting period:
