   I also got two accounts when they screwed up .mac to .me so I have one normal   
   Apple ID and another for "Purchases and In-App Purchases"   
      
   I'd love to merge them, but apparently this isn't (and has never been)   
   possible.   
      
   You're not telling me I need a third for Apple Music, are you?
