Syncing old music from old AppleID with new music with a current AppleID

I cannot authorize older iTunes purchases when user names were used instead of email addresses. How do I fix this?

How to access legitimately purchased songs on iTunes? I have an Apple ID which uses a now defunct email address. Years ago I used this ID to purchase songs on iTunes. Now iTunes won't allow me to access these songs on iTunes unless I use the now defunct email address for my old Apple ID. I do have a current Apple ID using a working email address. How do I get iTunes to allow me to use my current Apple ID to access these songs on iTunes?
