Spotify only supports local file syncing to the iPod classic. So only MP3s that you have on your computer will transfer over when syncing from the Spotify desktop app.

 

You are better off using iTunes to sync your MP3s, because iTunes does a better job at it than Spotify.

 

You cannot sync songs that are on Spotify to your iPod. Spotify encrypts their music files so you can only listen to them inside of the Spotify desktop and mobile apps. This makes it so people can't just download music from Spotify and share the file.

 

Hopefully this information is helpful.

But Spotify had sync one or two musics of the offline playlists to the ipod

 

 

Open Spotify and look for a "local files" section in the left sidebar.

 

Click on that. It is likely that you have imported a few music files that are on your computer.
