I created a new Apple ID because it wouldn't allow me to change my email address and I want to transfer my music over to my new Apple ID so that I don't pay for all of that. Please help!!!

How do I move my music from my old Apple ID to my new Apple ID? I don't want to pay for it all over again.

That cannot be done. The music is all locked to the Apple ID used to purchase/download it. You are going to need to work at editing your original ID.

See if this helps. Change your Apple ID - Apple Support


Are you trying to change your primary email address? To be honest, for the most part, your Apple ID is not used for email, and can remain with an email address that you do not use, as long as you make the email address change in managing your Apple ID. But see if that support document will help you. Even if you change it, it will not allow you to merge your accounts or move your music/apps to the new Apple ID. Any downloads you have that require updating will continually ask for the old ID.

Yes, I am trying to change my primary email address. Ah I see, that makes sense, however, I use my primary address quite frequently. When I went into my account to edit my primary email address, the edit button was missing. Thank you for recommending the Apple Support, though, I will try signing in once more, and attempting to edit my email.
