This opens up an alternative solution: by downloading Spotify music to your local computer, you can then transfer it to your old iPod. This method is not only applicable to Spotify but also works for other streaming platforms like Apple Music and Tidal, allowing users to enjoy the convenience of modern music libraries on their vintage devices.
