Can I export playlists from iPod to Apple Music?

Hello rhjones19, and welcome to the Apple Support Community.

It depends on which iPod you have and where the playlists are stored.

• If your playlists already exist in the Music app (or were previously synced from iTunes/Finder), they should be available automatically when Sync Library is enabled with your Apple Account.
• If the playlists exist only on the iPod and were never saved in your Music library on your Mac or PC, Apple doesn’t provide a built-in way to export them directly from the iPod into Apple Music. In that case, you would first need to recover or recreate the playlists on your computer before they can be synced with Apple Music.

Could you let us know which iPod model you have (iPod touch, iPod classic, iPod nano, etc.) and whether the playlists are stored only on the iPod or also in the Music app on your Mac or PC? That will help provide the most appropriate solution.

Please let us know the outcome.

Your feedback may also help other members of the Apple Support Community facing the same question.

Have a great day.

And one more thing…

Never forget to think different.
