How can I put music in my iPod without iTunes?
Can you still put music on an old iPod?
The iPod Classic, iPod Mini, iPod Nano, and iPod Shuffle don’t have an internet connection of their own. When you want to put media on them, you use the iTunes program on your desktop or laptop computer to download songs to the iPod, using a process called syncing, not iCloud.
Can you put music on an iPod for free?
Unfortunately, there is no way to download free music directly into the Music app on your iPod, but you can use an app called “VLC for Mobile” to act as an MP3 player for your downloaded songs. You’ll need a 6th generation iPod Touch in order to do this.
