    Hi there WelterFamily!

     

    It sounds like you are using iTunes Match to keep your music in the cloud. In order to sync this song onto your iPod nano, you will need to re-download it from your iTunes Match database, then sync it onto the iPod. I have some instructions that can help you achieve this, and they can be found here:

    Play or download songs from iCloud

    You can play songs directly from iCloud, or you can download songs so you can play them when you’re not connected to the Internet.

    If a song is available in iCloud, it has a Download button IL_CloudArrow-1.png next to it.

    • To play the song, double-click it.
    • To download the song, click the Download button.

    After you download a song to a computer, it remains in the computer’s iTunes library, even if you turn off iTunes Match.

    To only display downloaded songs in your iTunes library, choose View > Hide Music in the Cloud. This also hides any previous iTunes Store purchases you haven’t downloaded.

    For information about downloading and playing songs on an iOS device, see the documentation for the device.
