I can't download an app on my iPod Touch 4G

So recently, I picked up an iPod Touch 4G and I went into the app store and attempted to download Spotify. When I entered my apple password, I came up with the error "Your device must have iOS 7 or up". The problem is that iOS 6 is the only iOS my iPod will support! I cant upgrade it to iOS 7 otherwise I would upgrade it even though I prefer the icon style of iOS 6. So my question is how can I install Spotify on my iPod? Is there a way I can get my iPod to install the last known compatible version?

iOS 6.1.6

Try:

Starting when iOS 7 was released, Apple now allows downloading the last compatible version of some apps (iOS 4.2.1 and later only)

App Store: Downloading Older Versions of Apps on iOS - Apple Club

App Store: Install the latest compatible version of an app

You first have to download the non-compatible version on your computer. Then when you try to purchase the version on your iPod you will be offered a compatible version if one exists.

Thanks. Im really new to apple devices, so of course, my knowledge about them is limited.
