Music cannot be copied to an iPod.

I have an iPod nano and every time I try to sync music it says:

Music cannot be copied to an iPod


The only music I was able to transfer was music my sister bought from the iTunes Store because apparently you have to buy music to transfer it, how do I sync music without buying it???

iPod nano (7th Gen)

Content that you rent using the Apple Music service cannot be used on older devices which don't have the necessary hardware to check that your subscription is still valid. Purchases from the iTunes Store, CD rips, DRM-free media purchased elsewhere, and so on can be used with your iPod nano.
