How to enjoy Apple Music songs on iPod Nano and iPod Shuffle

Many users tried to sync downloaded offline Apple Music songs to iPod Nano or iPod Shuffle, and what they got was a message that “Apple Music songs cannot be copied to an iPod”. iPod Nano and iPod Shuffle don’t have Wi-Fi capabilities, but Apple could have worked around this problem with new software to accommodate authentication of Apple Music subscriptions through iTunes once a month. To all iPod Nano/Shuffle users’ great disappointment, the result was bad luck.
