Apple Music and iTunes Sync are 2 different things, with 2 different approaches for syncing that exclude each other entirely.


If you are using the Apple Music Subscription service, then you need to log in with the same Apple ID on the iPod touch, and turn on Sync Library in Settings->Music on the iPod.

Link-> Turn on Sync Library with Apple Music - Apple Support


If you want to sync with an iTunes Library on a computer, then "Sync Library" must be turned off on the iPod (as counterintuitive as it sounds) and on the computer.
