iTunes: How to transfer a music purchase between two Apple IDs? I bought an album off of iTunes on my phone, and now my mom wants to listen to it. The problem is I bought the songs using my apple ID on my phone, and her iTunes is under a different account.

Q: Is it possible to put the music on her account even though I bought it with a different apple ID? If so, how?
Short answer

No, purchases can not be transferred between Apple IDs.



Alternative 1: Return/buy again

If you intended to use your mother's account to buy the album you may try to return the item using iTunes on your computer (Store > My Account...).

In case that you get a refund you can buy the album using the other Apple ID.



Alternative 2: iCloud Family Sharing

If you set up Family Sharing you are able to download purchases made by other members of your family that are a part of Family Sharing.
