Music not available in my country error

I used the Support App on my phone and that worked much easier - the solution was found and I'm reporting it here in case it helps someone else.

All of my music had been purchased on another Apple ID - I feel dumb! I went to settings, scrolled down to MUSIC, signed out of my main Apple ID and signed in with my older one - presto, music again!

All of my purchased music (except for one album) is giving me the "not available in your country or region" error and won't play. I have followed the instructions above and my settings are already correct ; English, United States, no VPN.

Is there a plan B?

Thank you for your help!

My region is correct and I don’t have a vpn connection. But I’m still receiving the error

Go to Settings/General/Language & Region and make sure they are correct.

Also, if you are using a VPN connection delete it.

The next step is to sign out of your Apple ID account, restart your phone, then sign back in. And if that doesn’t fix it click the Get Support link at the top of this page for help from Apple.

Thank you for trying - it didn't help. I tied support earlier but couldn't get an answer. I'll try again.

Thanks so much!

Look at the post above yours for a possibility.
