Hi,

You can’t sync Apple Music downloads to your iPod nano because of DRM.

That was my fear and assumption, despite being told otherwise by Apple Support. It stinks, because they are both Apple devices, but I get it, since the iPod nano isn't an iOS device and doesn't have wifi. However, back in the day, iTunes purchases had DRM and they were playable on iPods, so I had hoped that Apple Music files would play back on an iPod nano.
