Can I still use Spotify on my old iPod?

I just found my old iPod nano and I was wondering if I can still use Spotify to put music on it like I could in the first year of Spotify?

Hey alexheu, welcome to the Community! I've taken a look at this for you and I've found some information about this. You can use Spotify to put music you already own on to your iPod! You can find out more about this at:  https://support.spotify.com/uk/article/listen-to-local-files and then hit "Other Platforms".

Unfortunately, you can't add playlists made from Spotify's streaming catalogue to an iPod (excluding Touch) for the same reasons why you can't add streaming music to a CD, Spotify can't detect how many plays you've done and so they can't pay artists the correct royalties - rather if you use a different device which has a Spotify app, even in offline mode the app tracks your plays and feeds them to Spotify (when you're back online, of course) to pay the people who make your jam!

Everyone can sync their personal music library to an iPod (or use it with the Spotify apps), but only Spotify Premium users with the Spotify app can save music for offline listening from Spotify's music catalogue for up to 30 days offline.

I hope I helped you today. While you're in the Community, feel free to have an off-topic chinwag, a music chat or help others with their technical help in the many forums we have in the Spotify Community! I look forward to seeing you round and hope you enjoy listening to your jam on your iPod, synced through the Spotify app! Take care.
