"I subscribe Apple Music for nearly a year, recently I try to sync the songs downloaded from Apple Music to iPod shuffle but failed, it prompted me that 'Apple Music songs cannot be copied to an iPod'. Why? Is it possible to break this limits? How?"
Why You Can't Sync Apple Music with iPod Shuffle
Currently, the iPod touch is the only iPod model that can download and stream songs directly from Apple Music. If you're using an iPod shuffle or older iPod models, you won't be able to access Apple Music tracks. This is because Apple Music songs are only available through the Apple Music app or iTunes (on Mac and Windows) for subscribers, as a way to prevent piracy. Apple Music tracks can’t be copied or played on unauthorized devices, including the iPod shuffle, and once your subscription ends, any downloaded songs will no longer be playable.
While you can't sync Apple Music directly with an iPod shuffle, there's a solution. By using a professional Apple Music converter, you can transfer Apple Music to any iPod model, including iPod shuffle, nano, classic, and touch. This guide will show you how to play Apple Music on your iPod without restrictions, no matter which model you have.
