I remember i bought a 160gb ipod for $80 in my senior year of highschool. I used to let a lot of people take it home & put music on it cause i didn't have a pc in those days, i remember it had like 90 movies & almost 7000 songs...i still miss it till this day
Oh wow that is amazing I’m sure you got a wide variety of music in there from everyone! You can still get one now but of course start fresh with music. Thanks for sharing the story!
I've been using ipods for almost 20 years, it is the best way to listen to music, I buy cds and import them to my computer, and I have some more ipods just in case the one i am using stops working.
Yess I saw them live a long time ago before I knew who they were and absolutely loved their music and bought their album the next day. Great album and band!
So how can I download my Apple Music playlist without buying the songs? I’ve been trying to add music onto my iPod but I’m so lost😔 (I’ve never done this before)
You can not. You have to go through the Apple iTunes store and search for albums or songs to purchase. Anything you created while having an apple music subscription can not be transferred to an iPod because you do not own that music. You have to own the music. Since the iPod is not able to connect to a server to determine you have an active subscription they do not allow it because otherwise people would take music store it on an ipod then get rid of the subscription and keep the music.
I mean you can go on eBay and see what a new in box iPod would cost you but usually if you want one that is new in box from back then it will usually run you over 200 dollars. Used ones or ones that have been refurbished with a new battery or shell are somewhere in the low hundreds.
@@theretrouniverse Could u provide the link so that I can get brand new one, the most ones i searched for were literally fake or the ones not functioning properly and also can I store mp3 songs I downloaded in my PC other than the ones purchased?
@@theretrouniverse it does show up on device manager i tried updating the driver, uninstalling, restarting my device, tried multiple devices, different cables, tried an older version of iTunes, even a different computer and nothing. I even made sure the service was running
@@theretrouniverse yeah it opens up in file explorer and opens the ipods drive contents but Itunes nor apple music will recognize it. I tried repairing the installation as well and no luck :( I appreciate the response btw
@@msconfig9786 I've had that happen sometimes maybe check the cable that is being used? Is it third party or OEM? I have that happen sometimes when the iPod doesn't show in iTunes but opens file explorer when connected. I uninstall the drivers for it and reconnect and it works, but yeah sorry to hear that
@@theretrouniverse its from my computer figured out a new way, i did it with the resync option but it it deleted all my previous songs. Somehow your method didnt seem to work
Hello, i have a problem. I just bought an iPod 5th gen and i have MacBook Pro with M3 chip. I have Apple Music downloaded (original from the Apple Music) and i cant transfer the music. What should i do? Thanks
@@veryprogamer honestly buying digital cd's on amazon and apple music..or ripping physical cd's to your computer but you would need a usb cd drive for your mac. It's tough now and days on laptops since they don't have dvd drives anymore. Google wil be your friend for this though!

Oh yes you can't just have one ha
I'm also interested in the iTunes version, as my iTunes wants to import my songs as Audiobooks
The iTunes version I have is 12.13.1.3
Noiceee I see Acceptance in your library, underrated band!
Also thanks for the video!
Yess I saw them live a long time ago before I knew who they were and absolutely loved their music and bought their album the next day. Great album and band!
Massive thumbs up for Stardew Valley OFST
Aha Thank you! It's a great soundtrack!!
I also still use my ipod classic 7th gen 160gb stock with some Xiaomi wired bud's

So with an itunes subscription, i cannot put the music on the iPod? I have to buy it again?
Unfortunately, that's the case. You can't move music from an iTunes/Apple Music subscription to a device. It has to be purchased music.
my windows laptop reads the ipod but itunes doesn't, any idea how to fix?
Which Version of iTunes are you running? Click on Help and then About iTunes
@@theretrouniverse Version 12.13.4.4
@@farh6n_r The iTunes version I have is 12.13.1.3 see if you can find an older version online.

Version 12.13.1.3
Make sure to go into Device Manager and see if you see Apple iPod in the list of devices.
@@theretrouniverse it does show up on device manager i tried updating the driver, uninstalling, restarting my device, tried multiple devices, different cables, tried an older version of iTunes, even a different computer and nothing.

How can I turn on iCloud music library?
You can’t for iPods they don’t have WiFi
@ when I want to put music on my iPod classic it said I need to put on iCloud music library
@ where is the music originally from?
@ I got Apple Music subscription
And I used that for it
Its doesnt work, i tried it on my ipod nano, but it wont take the song with the drag and drop feature, why?
Where is the song from? Is it stored locally on your computer or is it from Apple Music Subscription?
@@theretrouniverse its from my computer figured out a new way, i did it with the resync option but it it deleted all my previous songs. Somehow your method didnt seem to work
What Itunes version do I need to download?
I'm running Version 12.13.1.3
It keeps asking me to update but I am avoiding any update as I don't know if it will mess it up
Hello, i have a problem. I just bought an iPod 5th gen and i have MacBook Pro with M3 chip. I have Apple Music downloaded (original from the Apple Music) and i cant transfer the music. What should i do? Thanks
Does your iPod appear in Apple Music list at all?
Also if it's music from your Apple Music Subscription it won't let you transfer that the iPod
@@theretrouniverse Yes it does
@@theretrouniverse where should i download music then? Or is there some converter that will let me transfer? Ty

I used to own an iPod classic
They are great MP3 players and still work really well today
@@theretrouniverse mine needs to be updated haven't updated my iPod classic since I think after it came out and I don't have a PC anymore
which version of itune?
I don’t know the exact number right. Now but I know it’s asking me to download the latest
skip to 3:50 thank me later
Hey I put time stamps
Cannot for the life of me get the drag and drop to work...
You have to left click and hold the track or album and then drag and let go of the left click when it’s over the iPod icon
@theretrouniverse I know how to drag and drop... I'm saying it's not working though. Files won't transfer.
@ sorry wasn’t sure what you meant by that. If it doesn’t let you check what type of audio file they are. I know it won’t accept FLAC format
I just bought a Mac and I can’t download Itunes. Go figure.
For a Mac you will need to use Apple Music
@@theretrouniverse Do you know if it’s compatible with an IPod Classic?
@@thomaspappalardo7589 I've seen videos where it is, but YMMV
There is no iTunes in 2024
Sure there is on windows pcs
iTunes sucks man
I see it doesn't work for some people which is unfortunate. It has worked fine for me this whole time.
