If you’re wondering how to load music onto your iPod Touch and listen to it offline, then look no further. In this tutorial, we’ll guide you through the process of downloading and transferring music to your iPod Touch using your Windows or Mac computer.
Before we get started, we recommend that you quickly load up the music app on your iPod Touch. You might be lucky enough to get a pop-up that will give you six free months of Apple Music. If so, tap on redeem now and use the six months of free Apple Music. Essentially, this is a store where you can get whatever music you want as long as you are subscribed.
If you don’t have access to this option or you don’t use Apple Music, then let’s get started with the tutorial. You will need access to either a Windows or Mac computer to load the music onto your iPod Touch. Once you’ve done this once, you’re good to go for life. We recommend buying a computer quickly from a friend or family member, using a store which has display computers available, or using a computer from your organization, school, or work.
Once you have access to a computer, you’ll need to go to the imazing website and download the imazing application. Imazing is completely free to use, but if you’re using the free version, you can only upload up to 50 songs onto your iPod Touch before they ask you for payment. You could always use different computers to get around that limit, but up to 50 songs can be uploaded to your iPod Touch, so use them carefully.
After downloading and setting up Imazing, plug in your iPod Touch to the computer. You may be asked to trust the connection between your iPod and the computer. If so, tap on trust and then enter in the passcode, which is on the iPod Touch for the lock screen.
Next, click on music and drag and drop the music you want. The music format needs to be in dot m4a, and you need to use music that you’ve legally purchased. Once the music is copied over from your computer to your iPod Touch, you’re good to go.
To check if the music has been copied over successfully, open up the music application on your iPod Touch. Tap on library, and you should see your recently added music. Tap on the music to play it, and you’re all set.
That’s all there is to it. We hope this tutorial has helped you load music onto your iPod Touch and listen to it offline. Remember to legally purchase your music and use Imazing responsibly.
