"Apple music songs cannot be copied to an ipod"??

After recording some songs on my ZOOM H1, I downloaded them into iTunes. They all played perfect on my computer. When I tried to install these songs onto my iPod, I kept getting the error message "songs cannot be copied because they cannot be played on this iPod". A couple weeks earlier I was able to copy some songs to my iPod that I recorded on my ZOOM. After a lot of searching, I found that this iPod touch can only copy music that was recorded in a certain SAMPLING RATE. If you are recording music and your device allows you to choose the SAMPLING RATE, use 44/16. I had set mine (the second time) to 96/24 and the iPod WOULD NOT accept this rate.

When in iTunes, just to the right of the song title (if your list is set up by song title) there is a circle with 3 dots in it. Click the circle and pick the option....."get info". Now click on....."file". This will tell you what SAMPLING RATE the song was recorded at.

GOOD NEWS!!!! If you use AUDACITY to record music, you can input the songs and change the SAMPLING RATE very easily. I now have all the songs from the concert on my iPod.

I am still trying to figure out what SAMPLING RATES my iPod touch will and will not accept.

Same issue here with Windows 10 64-bit and ipod touch. Appears to be a DRM issue and its probably not working this way by design. iPod is Apple Music compatible so there must be a way to get Apple Music over just not through traditional syncing. Still trying to figure it out.

That message is correct. Playing Apple Music requires iTunes 12.2 or iOS 8.4; the only iPod which can do so is the fifth generation iPod touch.

So i realized this was probably the issue and I updated my iPod touch 5th gen to ios 8.4 and my itunes to the latest but its still giving me the same error. I have tried restarting and resetting everything but its still throwing the same error that "Apple music songs cannot be copied to the iPod". Any clue what's going on?

I am having the same problems that just started up today. I tried syncing my ipod touch 5th gen to my iTunes library and it only put about half the songs on it. I am getting very frustrated and have already quit on apple but has anyone found a solution to this??

I'm getting the same message now. This started with the latest update. You should not have to spend money on a new Ipod touch to get you playlist to work properly. Are there any other apps other than Itunes to put my music in to stream it? In my opinion Itunes now *****.

Download them directly from the iTunes Store instead of syncing them.

If you're planning to enjoy Apple Music on an iPod, you have two choices: get the iPod touch or use an Apple Music Converter.

ahahahahahah, but why?

Better all run out and get a new iPod guy!
