Getting music onto Ipod Classic from Apple itunes or Music

I have two Apple Ipods. Is it still possible to move music between the new Apple Music and the ipods?

Windows, Windows 10

Not with music sourced from the Apple Music subscription service. That music is loaned to you (via the subscription) but cannot be added to an iPod Classic.


I think the Apple Music app will override your iTunes Library and prevent you adding music that you own to the Classic. If you have any of the following applications on your computer, remove them and go back to iTunes:

  • Apple Music (the app)
  • Apple TV
  • Apple Devices
