Since iTunes no longer supports songs, I can’t sync the songs on my iPod 7th generation.
I can only transfer songs to my iPhone 14 through Apple Music. What should I do to listen music with my iPod?
I use Windows 10 on my PC.
Windows, Windows 6
If you mean the Apple Music subscription service, then you need to unsubscribe from Apple Music.
If you mean the new applications that are intended to replace iTunes, i.e.:
then uninstall them and that will allow iTunes to manage your music with your iPod.
it does not support even though with Apple Music.
What a shame for Apple. I've been using an iPod for 10 years and they don't support it anymore.
Can you look at the attached screenshot? It says iTunes will now play music only on Apple Music and iTunes will be used for audiobooks and podcasts. This message and problem appeared even when Apple Music wasn’t installed on my computer, so having Apple Music isn’t the reason I can’t listen to music on iTunes. Apple Music seems to be designed solely for syncing with iPhones, leaving iPod users out, and now iTunes no longer works. An Apple representative suggested that installing only iTunes on a different computer might solve this issue. But I don’t have two PCs. So, it seems there’s no other solution to this problem yet.
I can't delete Apple Music because I need it to listen to music on my iPhone 14. Also, deleting Apple Music doesn’t solve the issue. Even when Apple Music wasn’t installed on my computer, I couldn’t use iTunes with my iPod anymore. That’s because the latest version of iTunes doesn’t support music. When I open iTunes, I get a message saying it only supports podcasts and audiobooks. I can’t revert to an older version of iTunes either because iTunes Library files created with a newer version aren’t compatible with older versions. Apple representative stated that, since the 7th generation iPod is an older device, it no longer provides software support for it.

That's your choice.

It would.

Then there is a different issue. You would need to describe the symptoms encountered before anyone could help sort that out, but not until and unless you abandon the new apps (mentioned again below).

I can assure you that it does. I use it.

You mean that the display shows only Podcasts and Audiobooks. As far as I know, there is no "message". That indicates that you have installed the Apple Music, the Apple TV and/or the Apple Devices apps. If you uninstall them you will see all of your library.

You're right. It's my choice to have both iPhone and iPod at the same time.
But this is not related to our problem.
The problem is different as I mentioned above.
I don't have my playlists on iTunes, and I can't sync to my iPod.
