How to Get Spotify Songs on iPod Nano (100% Works)

"Is there a way I can put all my Spotify songs onto my old iPod Nano?"

- from a Reddit user

When Spotify has enhanced its compatibility to support more devices, it becomes more convenient and flexible to enjoy Spotify's lossless music streaming service and get an incredible experience. However, when iPod Nano users also want to join, they turn out to be disappointed. Why? Does Spotify work on iPad Nano? Let's read on to find out the answers.

Part 1. Can You Play Spotify on iPod Nano

In the early years before streaming music got popular, Spotify was not supported by many devices, such as the iPod Nano. To this day, Spotify still does not work with many iPod models because they lack internet connectivity and cannot run iOS apps.

You may wonder if you can directly download Spotify songs and then move them to iPod Nano for streaming. Definitely, the answer is also a big "NO". Because Spotify has adopted the DRM technique to protect all its streaming resources, you can only download Spotify songs with its Premium subscription. Moreover, the downloads can only be accessed within the Spotify application.

In other words, because iPod Nano can't get the Spotify app installed on the devices, you can not access Spotify's streaming services on iPod Nano directly (unless you get the way to download Spotify songs to iPod Nano’s supported formats such as AAC, MP3, AIFF, or WAV, and that’s what we are going to talk about below).

Part 2. How to Convert and Download Spotify Music as MP3 Files

Although you can't directly install Spotify on iPod Nano because of the application incompatibility, you can turn to an alternative solution to remove DRM and convert Spotify OGG to MP3 or other iPod Nano's supported formats (i.e. WAV, AIFF), in order to transfer them to the devices for playback offline. For such a purpose, TuneFab Spotify Music Converter is highly recommended.
