See Authorization vs. association - Apple Community. There is an issue downloading content from an old Apple ID in that it will lock your computer to that account for 90 days. If you use Apple Music or iTunes Match note that content from a different Apple ID gets excluded, and you're also going to be locked out of your primary account if/when you download old content. Setting up family sharing for your accounts is a possible workaround, but is much easier if you have a spare iOS device or a Mac.
