The iPod Nano and the iPod Shuffle Can't Sync Apple Music Tracks Cached Offline

[RaduTyrsina]

According to a fresh report coming from iMore.com, it seems that the iPod nano nor the iPod shuffle won't sync offline Apple Music tracks.

iMore.com reports that when users try to sync cached songs to one of the devices via iTunes, the software responds with an error message saying that "Apple Music songs cannot be copied to an iPod." Thus, it seems that only tracks bought or imported through iTunes can be synced with the media players.

The Nano and Shuffle don't have a way of getting online, so not being able to sync cached files means that they will lack any kind of Apple Music support, since they have no way of getting online. The newly-refreshed iPod touch supports all Apple Music features.

Apple has resorted to this measure to prevent the music from being copied, because a person could sync music with a Nano or Shuffle, cancel Apple Music, and then keep the tracks forever or at least as long as they don't sync with their iTunes library.
