Although newer versions of the iPod are capable of playing videos and running applications, the iPod is still primarily a music-playing device. After installing the iTunes software, which is available as a free download from Apple's website, you can add MP3 files to your music library. Once a song or album has been added to your iTunes library, it can be transferred to your iPod using the iPod USB cable.

Items you will need

• iPod Classic, Touch or Nano
• iPod USB cable
• Mac or PC computer

Step 1

Download the iTunes 8 software from the Apple website (see Resources for link) and install it on your Mac or PC computer.

Step 2

Open the iTunes application by clicking on the Dock icon on a Mac or the 'Start' menu icon on a PC.

Step 3

Go to the 'File' menu at the top of the screen and choose the 'Add to Library' option.

Step 4

Navigate to the location of the MP3 files that you want to put on your iPod, highlight the file names and click 'Open.' The selected MP3 files will now be transferred to your iTunes library.

Step 5

Connect your iPod to your Mac or PC computer using the iPod USB cable.

Step 6

Go to 'Music' under the 'Library' heading on the left side of the iTunes window and find the MP3 songs that you want to put on your iPod.

Step 7

Drag the songs to the iPod icon underneath the 'Devices' heading to copy the MP3 files to your iPod.

Part 1. Is it Possible to Import Spotify Playlist to iPod

If you try to search the answer from Google, you may see different ones. Some people says that is so easy while others say no. This is really confusing. Which is right? Well, they are all right in terms of different time period.

Previously, Spotify is compatible with all kind of iPod players including iPod Shuffle/Nano/Classic/Touch. iPod Shuffle is targeted as small, compact audio player without display, Nano is similar to Shuffle with touchscreen, Classic is well-know for its large capacity player, iPod Touch is the most expensive device with powerful features. You were able to connect an iPod and follow the similar instruction of syncing Spotify music to Android many years ago.

Then things changed. Due to the popularity of mobile devices, Apple announced to discontinue most models of iPod except the iPod Touch. As a result, Spotify app also ditched the support of iPod Nano/Shuffle/Classic. The only way you can still play Spotify songs on iPod Touch now is by installing the Spotify mobile version app.

Although these devices are discontinued, they still play an important role on music lovers for their pure audio experience. So is there any alternatives for iPod Shuffle/Nano/Classic users? Sure, you might use a free online audio recorder or converter to record the songs. The shortcoming is that the music quality would be reduced, that is why I don't recommend. To keep the best quality, I'd suggest you to use DRmare Spotify to iPod Converter for Mac/Windows to download the Spotify music files directly.
