Accessing purchased music

I purchased music on a previous email with different password. Both have been changed with Apple.

Unable to listen to music. Do not have old password for previous email

You have to use the Apple ID and password that you used to make purchases in order to download them again. If you changed your Apple ID (updated your ID to reflect your new email address) successfully, there is no reason why you should not be able to download past purchases (assuming they are still available in the iTunes Store) using the updated Apple ID. If you created a new Apple ID, then you cannot transfer the purchase to the new ID.


I‘m guessing you created a new ID and password and that’s why you can’t access the music. The passsord for your Apple ID does not have to be, and should not be, the same password that you use to access your personal email.
