Q: Offline Use

Is there an easier way to download my songs to my 6th Generation iPod touch than clicking on each song individually? My computer will not transfer any of my songs to my iPod, it says I have to do it from iCloud and then click "download for offline use" for each song/album

iPod touch, iOS 8.4, 6th generation 128GB

    Hello Jaimizzle719,

    Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.

     

    If I understand your post correctly you are making music available for offline with Apple Music on your iPod touch, and would like to do it for more than one item at a time.  To do this, you will need to make either playlists or albums available offline, which will then download the contents of that album or playlist onto your device.  To learn more about making your music available offline with Apple Music, please take a look at the article below.

     

    Save songs, albums, and playlists to listen offline

    You can save songs, albums, or playlists to listen to when you're not connected to the Internet.* You must save songs, albums, or playlists on each device that you want to use for offline listening.

    On your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch:

    1. In the Music app, find the item that you want to save.
    2. Tap the More Options icon   to the right of the song, album, or playlist name.
    3. Tap Make Available Offline.

    Songs and albums appear under My Music > Library. Playlists appear under My Music > Playlists.

    On your Mac or PC:

    1. In iTunes, find the item that you want to save in the My Music or Playlists tab. You can't save items to listen to offline from the iTunes Store.
    2. Click the cloud icon to the right of the song's name, on the album cover, or to the right of the playlist's name.

    Songs and albums appear under the My Music tab. Playlists appear in the Playlists tab, under Apple Music Playlists in the sidebar.

    You can view just songs, albums, playlists that you saved for offline listening:

    • iPhone, iPad, iPod touch: In the My Music tab, tap Library. Then tap any of the different views (Artists, Albums, etc.), and enable Music Available Offline.
    • Mac: In iTunes, from the menu bar at the top of your computer screen, choose View > Only Music Available Offline.
    • Windows: Press Control + B on your keyboard to open the iTunes menu bar. Choose View > Only Music Available Offline.

    Add music from the Apple Music catalog to your library - Apple Support

     

    Take care.
