How to play Apple Music songs on iPod Classic?

The iPod Classic still remains the favorite and most used MP3 player for many users. Unlike the iPhone, the iPod Classic can hold, according to Apple, up to 140,000 tracks on the 160GB hard drive. Although smartphones today can play music, it doesn’t mean phones should do all the work. Music lovers who listen to songs often with phones all have the same concern: battery life plummets and storage is full. An iPod can take a load off your smartphone, hosting all your music and leave the storage on your phone for the things you really need.

However, you can't sync Apple Music songs to iPod classic, iPod shuffle, iPod nano and iPod touch 4th gen, because all these iPod models don't have Wi-Fi compatibility. Apple Music is a subscription service and therefore requires an internet connection in order to ensure that the subscription is still active.
