iPod Nano podcast app catalina

I wish it were the case that they just hadn't spent a little more time getting ready for release. This was nothing more than a business decision. Make the old devices obsolete and make the masses buy new devices that don't use 3.5mm connections for headphones, need a lighting or USB-C charging port, etc. etc................................

I have started using my iPhone too. It's a pain in the ***. Both the iTunes and Podcasts interfaces are awful and clunky.

I'm very disappointed and my daily workouts, yard work, walks, etc. are "less" than the were before the "upgrade".

I'm glad someone knows how to make the little things in life better for me.

I looked at the article and my IPod Nano II looks nothing like the picture in the article. It is just a bunch of unrecognizable folders. The Ipod says it is syncing when connected but there is no way to manage podcasts on the device. This is very frustrating.

It's a pity ! My podcasts sync with the ipod nano through the finder but new shows are not inserted in the right place with older shows.... Spliting shows inconsistently... No more images on the shows neither... It's a mess ! Having a new mac with catalina was great (Yeh I have a new machine !) but it's really disappointing that I have to struggle for using my ipod nano. And I use it almost exclusively for podcasts ! S...t

So, I have to say: I've changed my tune. If Apple wants to make the iPod obsolete, so be it. It decreases my brand loyalty. I do not own an iPhone and I'm not buying an iPhone. I've learned a ton since they've made it impossible for me to load podcasts on my beloved Nano. My Android phone has an excellent way for me to get podcasts, I've downloaded a radio app, AND there are all kinds of apps for sleep timers. I don't use my Nano anymore, because Apple made it that way.

Apple, you've blown it again. You've shown me you don't have regard for me as a user and I've moved on.

It is getting time for me to upgrade my macbook pro and I was thinking moving to a faster less expensive Dell laptop. I have been holding back because music management with my Ipods is something I do and use everyday. It is the main reason I would stay with Apple. I use Windows at work and Microsoft seems to have finally sort out its software. I guess it is time to cut the cord with Apple.

It does show up BUT it doesn't sync properly. Very frustrating that Apple can't fix these bugs BEFORE releasing new updates.

Same here - My nano is there in the sidebar, but all I get in the right hand box is "loading" and a spinning progress icon - same for another iPod too.

Podcasts icon is only for selecting episodes.

To Sync, go to Finder, click your iPod nano, and Sync!

I have been able to sync podcasts to my iPod nano by rebooting my MacBook, while leaving the nano connected to the MacBook by a USG.

I spoke with a Genius Bar associate and he said there really isn't a way to make this work well. Sad that I can't use my nano for podcasts at the gym, but my phone works fine. Moving on..

Same story for my 6th Generation Nano

I can't change the sync window (old podcasts/episodes) even when I try to sync to my iPhone SE. Not sure it is a Nano issue. At least for me.
