This article provides step-by-step instructions on how to play Spotify songs on iPod Nano.
So far the best music players to play songs offline are iPods, and over 390 million people have used these models. However, many Spotify users have reported that syncing their Spotify music tracks to iPod Nano is not happening before. Here’s one such problem posted on Spotify’s official site:
“I have an iPod Nano but can’t sync it with Spotify to play my music tracks. I can put my Spotify music there, but I don’t understand the process! When connecting my iPod to the desktop version, the app fails to recognize the device and doesn’t have any options to sync songs to Spotify. Can someone help me out to resolve this issue?
I am just confused!”
Spotify Free users must have an internet connection to play Spotify songs, and offline listening is not available. Premium users can download Spotify songs for offline listening, either on a PC with the Spotify desktop app or on iOS or Android with the Spotify App. However, the downloaded songs are in Ogg Vorbis file format with DRM protection and can’t be recognized or played on iPod Nano.
Solution
The iPod Nano can only play MP3, M4A, or WAV songs. If you want to play Spotify songs on iPod Nano, you’ll have to download them in these formats. That is where a Spotify Music Converter comes into the picture. It can download Spotify songs and playlists as MP3, M4A, or WAV. It further preserves all ID3 tags like song title, album, artist, genre, artwork, year, etc., no matter if you are using Spotify Free or Spotify Premium.

Step 2: Add your favorite Spotify songs, albums, or playlists
It is easy to drag songs, albums or playlists directly from Spotify to Spotify Music Converter, or you can browse your favorite song, album or playlist in Spotify, then right-click to get the link of the song, album or playlist, and then paste the link in the search bar at the bottom of the program, followed by clicking + or Add button.
Spotify Music Converter will analyze your input and pop up a dialog asking you to choose which songs to download. By default, all the songs will be downloaded, but you can uncheck the songs you don’t want to download.
Step 3: Choose the output music format for iPod Nano
Spotify Music Converter supports MP3, M4A, WAV, or FLAC as output formats, and MP3, M4A, or WAV can be played on iPod Nano. Choose one of them depending on your needs. Spotify Music Converter will default use 320kbps and 44100hz MP3 as output formats.
If necessary, click Options to change the output format in the Advanced tab.
Step 4: Start downloading Spotify music
Now, simply click the Convert button to start downloading Spotify music to your computer. All ID3 tags in Spotify songs will be preserved. Once you finish the conversion, click the History button and open the output folder to locate the output songs.
Step 5: Transfer downloaded Spotify songs to iPod Nano
Attach your iPod Nano to the computer with a USB cable. Launch iTunes and add the downloaded Spotify songs to the iTunes library. Create a playlist and add the Spotify songs, then sync to the iPod Nano through iTunes.
If you don’t want to install or use iTunes, many iPod transfer programs can help you transfer local songs to your iPod Nano directly instead of using iTunes. Generally speaking, such iPod transfer programs are much more convenient than iTunes.
