Apple Event: May 7th at 7 am PT

Looks like no one’s replied in a while. To start the conversation again, simply ask a new question.

I have an old Nano iPod. Is it capable of playing Apple Music on it? I keep getting an error message telling me I need to turn Apple Music on, but there is nothing in settings to allow it.

How do I listen to Apple Music on an old Nano?


iPod Nano (5th Gen)

No. Because the old iPod nano and shuffle don’t have access to Wi-Fi and other online services, Apple is unable to authenticate whether or not the device has an active Apple Music subscription.
