Apple Music

Content from the Apple Music subscription service cannot be used on an iPod classic. An iCloud Music Library is limited to 100,000 tracks, not including any iTunes purchases. Your existing library is matched or uploaded so it becomes available to your cloud enabled libraries and devices.

Hi,

You can’t copy Apple Music downloads to a Classic iPod because of copy protection.

You will retain your own music that is on your computer. Make sure that you have a backup of your music.
