more than 1 appleID

I think I have a dilemma between my iphone and iTunes for Windows. When I make purchases with my iPhone, I believe I am using an appleID that is a XXX@yahoo.com account. But, when I signed in to my actual iphone, I used a XXXX@me.com or XXXX@icloud.com. I don't know if there is a conflict but, when I sign in to my iTunes for Windows account I use the XXX@me.com account. The reason I suspect is a dilemma is because when I try to access purchased music using my iphone, the purchases do not show up on my itunes PC, no matter how I try to sync the two. Could this be a problem?
The appleID that I use to make purchases will not work when I try to use it in iTunes for PC. Keeps telling me that it is invalid. I never had an issue in the past when purchasing music from my iphones. When I open itunes on my PC, it does not even show that I made these purchases. How can I transfer these songs and albums from my phone to either the icloud or another storage area?

If you click settings on your phone then click at the top where it has your name it will bring up a thing where your Apple ID is right below your name. That’s the one on your phone so you can be sure what that ID is.

If you have two Apple IDs that’s fine but less than ideal since you can’t play content content from one while signed in to the other one. You should pick one and then sign into that on both devices.

It seems like the one you have the music on is on your phone so check the ID on your phone to make sure it’s correct email address below your name is the one. Then you need to figure out your password. Perhaps that is the issue.

You can’t just transfer files because they won’t play unless it’s on the correct Apple ID

Here is the Apple article on how to find your Apple ID on all devices. It explains better than I did

If you forgot your Apple Account primary email address or phone number - Apple Support

If you forgot the email address or phone number that you use to sign in to your Apple Account or aren't sure if you have one, you can look it up or check if you're already signed in to an app or service.

I actually did not forget my apple ID email nor phone number. For some reason, a long time ago, I added an Apple ID strictly for purchasing songs and whatnot to my account. This was a "Yahoo.com" email address to use strictly when downloading/purchasing songs. And, it worked precisely for what it was designed to do. I have downloaded numerous songs and albums with this "appleID" with no issues. These songs/albums would always show up in my iTunes account either on my apple device or iTunes for PC.
Now, for some unknown reason, recently it has not happened. I recently bought a new iphone, transerring everything from the old iphone to the new one. I don't know why, but maybe some policy changed, or an iOS update changed the way the songs are synced from the iphone to the PC (iTunes).
It was also suggested that I turn on Family Sharing and add the "other" AppleID to it. It is already attached to the family sharing with my Primary AppleID.
