Put Apple Music on iPod Nano

Apple Music songs can't be copied to an iPod, why?

Unlike the iPod Touch, iPhone, iPad, iPod nano/shuffle/classic lacks Wi-Fi and can't access the Music app, which is a requirement that Apple can use to authenticate an active Apple Music subscription. Therefore, it is impossible to stream Apple music tracks to these devices. And, Apple Music downloaded from the iTunes Store is protected with DRM encryption. That's why Apple can guarantee that users aren’t able to keep a collection of songs on their device after cancelling their Apple Music subscription.
