However, many Spotify users have reported that synching their Spotify music tracks to iPod Nano is not happening before. Here’s one such problem posted on Spotify official site:
“I have an iPod Nano but I can’t sync it with Spotify to play my music tracks. I am able to put my Spotify music there, but I don’t understand the process at all! On connecting my iPod to the desktop version, the app fails to recognize the device and doesn’t pop up any options to sync songs to Spotify. Can someone help me out to resolve this issue?
I am just confused!”
The fact is that for Spotify Free users, it is mandatory to have internet connection for playing Spotify songs and offline listening is not available. Whereas for Premium users, they can download Spotify songs for offline listening, either on PC with Spotify desktop app, or on iOS or Android with Spotify App. However, the downloaded songs are Ogg Vorbis file format with DRM protection and can't be recognized or played on iPod Nano.
