iPod Downloaded Apple Music Songs on iPod?

[legaleye3000]

I downloaded my Apple Music songs to my computer. I'm using finder to connect and sync my playlists, but only some songs transfer over even though ALL of them are downloaded through Apple Music. Any way to get all songs to transfer? Thanks.

Apple Music (streaming subscription) songs cannot be synced to iPod, no matter if they are downloaded or not. The songs which do sync are for example the ones you purchased on iTunes Store or ripped from CDs.

Yeah the drm/file format of downloaded music from your AL subscription is not that of standard transferable files to an ipod. you’d need to use some kind of (very not kosher) apple music “ripping” solution. they are out there.
