Greetings ipodtouch5thgeneration, 


Most likely you are asking this question because when attempting to download the apps you are met with a message that you need to update the software on your iPod. 


An iPod touch (5th generation) can run up to iOS 9.3.5 and it looks like both Audible and Spotify require a later version of iOS to be compatible. Due to that, you will not be able to install the apps on your iPod. 


You can view the compatibility for each app on the following links - 

Audible: Audio Entertainment on the App Store

Spotify - Music and Podcasts on the App Store


Thanks.
