How can I download music on shuffle?

Hello, as a user who has been using shuffle for 6 years, I found a problem after the supply of shuffle has been stopped for a long time. Does shuffle not consider how users import music when developing? When the music downloaded from Apple music is imported through iTunes, it is told that it cannot be copied. It needs to be downloaded by the iPod itself, but shuffle has no screen. How can I use the music of Apple Music? Can only download through other music software? I can use Apple Music on my iPhone but not on the same company's shuffle. Other music software songs need to be downloaded by members, even if the download is successful, it is not the MP3 format that shuffle can read. Is the original design of shuffle a U disk? Apple's products have a very long service life. As a small MP3, I think the service life of shuffle can reach 10 years, but now I lose the significance of using shuffle because I can't download music. How can I download music on shuffle?

Hello and welcome to Apple Support Communities 鲔208,


I see that you have questions about getting music on to your iPod shuffle. I'd be happy to provide you with some information that can answer your questions.


You would not be able to download music for Apple Music to an iPod shuffle. The first article below provides the devices that are compatible with Apple Music.


Listen to music and more in the Apple Music app


If you already have music on your computer that you've uploaded from CDs or other sources, you can sync your iPod with your computer. You just wouldn't be able to sync any Apple Music content.

I'm sorry you said that, which means I can't use my shuffle to listen to songs anymore, because there is no way for me to get free songs to add it to my shuffle. Is shuffle actually a product that doesn't belong to apple? It doesn't even get the right technical support. I want to say that even if the supply of shuffle has stopped, we should find the right way to use it instead of making it a discarded product, even if so many users have been waiting for its update. Thank you for your reply. I didn't get help, and I lost my expectation for the future of Apple products.
