iOS 4.2.1is the highest iOS your 2008, 2nd gen iPod Touch can go.

If you find Internet Radio apps that STILL support iOS 9.3.5 and earlier, there is a possibility that a much older version may still exist for some of these apps, but no guarantee.


There only one way to get older apps onto a very old iPod Touch



If you need apps for that iPod Touch, if you have a computer with an older version of iTunes (version 12.6.4 or earlier ), you can try downloading the recent app/s, by accessing the iOS App Store, through iTunes, and then, download the recent version of the app/s you like to use on your iPod Toych, to iTunes on your computer, FIRST.


IF you own a computer with an older version of iTunes already on it, try using that version as an old iPod Touch does not need the latest iTunes version.


If you have a computer, but NO iTunes on it, here is a link to the older 12.6.4 version for download found in this Apple weblink.



Older versions of iTunes found here.


https://support.apple.com/downloads/itunes



iTunes 12.6.4 here.


https://support.apple.com/en-gb/HT208079



DO NOT download OR USE the latest version of iTunes (version 12.7.x) as there is no more support for saving apps in iTunes under the most recent versions.

If you have already downloaded the recent 12.7.x version of iTunes, NONE of what I have wriiten here in this post reply may work!


You will need to use an older iTunes version and once it is downloaded and installed on your computer, at launch, hold down the Opt/Alt key on your keyboard while launching this older iTunee version, so you can create a new Tunes library.



BEFORE DOING the IMMEDIATELY ABOVE, if you use iTunes on a computer and already have an iTunes Library, you will need to find the iTunes Library folder on your computer and, temporarily, move/copy this folder to another location so you do not accidentally write over your existing current iTunes library.


You will then need to download the newest version of the app to iTunes, then connect your iPod Touch to the computer and see if sn older version of an app will download and sync to your iPod Touch, IF an older, compatible version is still available.


For older apps that may still have an older iOS version available, the lowest compatible iOS version of an app is iOS 4.2.1.



The search for iOS 4.2.1 compatible apps will be trial and error, but they are out there.
