I have an Apple ID and I have purchased some songs. My sister likes the same songs and wants them for her iPod Touch. I was wondering if I logged in with my Apple ID on her iPod and downloaded the same songs – would I have to pay again? I know Apple doesn't encourage ID sharing but my sister does't have a credit card or iTunes giftcard.

To change stores you can do so on the iTunes Store:
- Click on your Account in the iTunes Store to go to your Account Page.
Click "Change Country or Region".
Choose your Country or Region:
Another alternative is to use Apple's Manage your Apple ID site and change your address - next time you use iTunes it will ask you to change your region and verify your address details.
I found the issue. Turns out the email address I had used to register with Apple had a dot in it. I do this because to the Gmail it's the same things, and it allows me to filter out stuff that I may not want. So I tried authorizing with that ID, and it worked.

You won't be charged again. I have done this before in a similar situation, and it works fine. However, if the device gets restored or if the songs get deleted, you will have to sign in again to redownload them onto the device, which can be a pain.
