How to access songs when apple says I'm not authorized

I have a very old user ID I haven't used in years-I have updated my account multiple time with my newer user ID and password which allows access to newer uploaded songs but not ones from years ago. How do I get rid of



the nonexistent old user ID and substitute it with the newer one?

You can't transfer purchases between Apple IDs.  One option is to delete the apps/purchases made by the other ID and download them using the new ID if desired. If necessary, check your purchases history to see which apps/purchases weren’t made by the current ID.
