Part 1. Why iPod Nano/Shuffle/Classic not Syncing Apple Music Songs

Before I tell the method to listen to Apple Music on iPod nano, shuffle, classic, and iPod touch, let us figure out the reason that stops us playing Apple Music on iPod models except for iPod touch. Unlike iPod touch, iPod nano, classic, and shuffle lack Wi-Fi capabilities so that Apple can't authenticate whether or not the device has an active Apple Music subscription. Once that's allowed, users will freely download all Apple Music songs and save them on iPods and then cancel the service permanently. As result, users can keep track of Apple Music on iPod forever without any cost.

To avoid such a situation, Apple protects Apple Music songs in M4P to disables the sync between Apple Music and iPod nano/shuffle, as well as other common MP3 players that do not have Wi-Fi capabilities. Finally, only selected devices that support Apple Music app could stream and play the songs properly.
