- Oct 24, 2018 Part 1. Why Can't I Sync Apple Music to iPod classic. Apple Music songs cannot be copied to an iPod classic, iPod shuffle, iPod nano and iPod touch 4th gen, because all these iPod models don't have Wi-Fi compatibility.This is a small trick that Apple is using to prevent people from downloading and keeping songs for offline playback without paying the subscription fee.
The iPod classic uses a 30-pin Dock Connector interface to connect to a host Mac or PC running iTunes, which is the only way of downloading music to the device — it lacks Bluetooth or Wi-Fi connectivity.
The iPod classic runs its own operating system — it's not iOS, so you can't load apps from the App Store onto it, only music, movies and TV shows.

But enough about what the iPod classic can't do. The iPod classic was the only iPod that didn't use solid state storage - instead, it's got a tiny 1.8-inch hard disk drive.
The 160 GB hard drive can store 40,000 songs, 200 hours of video, or 25,000 photos. The iPod classic's battery life is estimated at 36 hours of use per charge. For a time Apple even offered games that you could download and play on the iPod classic, though those were discontinued in late 2011.
The iPod classic was available in two sizes, black and silver. The enclosure is made of anodized aluminum and polished stainless steel.
Apple stopped making the iPod classic in 2014, indicating it could no longer get the parts needed to make the device.

I think my question comes down to, 'how can I downgrade to the previous version of iTune?'
Here's the background...
After the bad idea of 'upgrading' to High Sierra, and working through an endless list of problems, I just ran into a new one. iTunes will no longer recognize my iPod. It's the Classic 160GB (the best iPod ever).
The iPod shows up in the System Report as a USB device. It also shows up on the desktop as a volume. Clearly the Mac recognizes it as an iPod and a working USB device.
iTunes refuses to show it in the list of devices.
In a chat with Apple support, I was told my iPod is no longer supported.
Looking in the Console, I found message from iTunes such as these. This seems to confirm that iTunes no longer recognizes or supports the iPod classic.
