Apple Music Songs Cannot be Copied to an iPod

How can I enjoy Apple Music on my old iPod Nano?

"I actually wanted to know if the songs i've saved for offline listening can be synced into my ipod nano or my son's ipod shuffle. That would be awesome."

You might have heard some discussing the state of Apple Music on the iPod nano and shuffle, two products that just got a minor facelift alongside a larger refresh for their bigger brother, the iPod touch. And you might have already guessed that streaming to the devices was a no-go from the lack of Wi-Fi capabilities, but it turns out you won't even be able to store your offline Apple Music collection on the devices either. It has been confirmed that iPod nano and iPod shuffle won't get Apple Music to prevent piracy.

When you try to sync offline Apple Music tracks to a nano or shuffle, you're met with this rather disappointing message: "Apple Music songs cannot be copied to an iPod." You'll have to rely on your purchased music for those devices, instead.

Apple music songs cannot be copied to an iPod

More and more people are listening to streaming music, and for good reason: When you can listen to just about any artist, genre, and song you set your heart on, it's a lot more enticing than playing the same thousand songs you own in your library. Apple offers a free three-month trial for everyone when they first subscribe. Apple Music is available on the iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch running iOS 8.4 or later; it's also available on Apple Watch 1.0.1 or later; on Macs and PCs running iTunes; on Android; and on the Apple TV. Once those three months are up, you'll have to pay $9.99/mo to continue taking advantage of all that Apple Music has to offer.

Sadly, only the iPod touch is compatible with Apple Music. The new iPod nano and iPod shuffle are limited to tracks you own. We're hoping for a software update from Apple to address this, but it's not likely.

Why did Apple do this?

This is probably an issue regarding priority and time. Apple needed to write a software update for both the nano and the shuffle to recognize and use Apple Music; instead, they get a new paint job and that's about it. (The nano is still using the iOS 6 UI, which is kind of horrific when you think about it.) We suppose there's a small chance that Apple could take the time to update the device's software in the future to allow for this.

This leaves the iPod touch as the lone iPod in the line that can take advantage of Apple Music's catalog in both online and offline formats. It gets Apple Music because it can run iOS 8.4; Apple doesn't need to create a major software update for the iPod touch because one already existed.

The Apple Watch is the future for semi-offline small devices you want to listen to while on the go; the nanos and shuffles of the world are the elegant, ancient weapons from a more civilized age of wired headphones and purchased music.
