If I change my AppleID will all my music/TV purchases under the old ID follow to the new one.
This would apply to iPhone, MacBook, iPad, Apple TV, etc.
The Apple ID I want to change to I already have in place.
MacBook Pro (2020 and later)
I went ahead and checked in with Apple support. What you said agreed with what Apple said. Complication, I have been working the new iCloud address for a while to get things transferred over. As far as my iTunes, Book, and AppleTV libraries, they will not transfer to another Apple ID. One sort-of option is called "Family Share." It will require that I maintain the previous email address to work. The cost of keeping the old email address active will be less compared to losing the thousands of dollars I have invested in iTunes, Books, and AppleTV, and the cost to replace the libraries. It would seem that there should be a direction Apple could take to change an AppleID and transfer existing media libraries. With some sort of secure system to verify that the old Apple ID user and the new Apple ID user are the same.

Do not start a new Apple ID. You can change the email address for your current account by going to appleid.apple.com and that way you will have continuity.
Hi RF-Tech,
Ok, if you have already started using the second Apple ID, you are stuck with both for life. Family Sharing should be a decent workaround.
