In the early time of Spotify, Spotify desktop app could be used to sync songs to iPod Nano, just launch Spotify and connect iPod Nano to computer with USB cable, then you can use Spotify to sync local MP3 songs to iPod Nano. However, such a feature had been removed when Spotify was changed to be a streaming music service.

When searching 'Spotify on iPod Nano' or similar phrases, you may find the guide 'How to Sync Spotify Music to Your iPod' from dummies.com, however, it is totally outdated. It is misleading users and make users confused when they couldn't figure out how to sync Spotify songs to iPod Nano. In fact, the way was no longer effective.

Spotify user 'rafaellourenzo' tried the way mentioned in the guide in vain and then asked on Spotify Community: 'Can i sync my iPod Nano with Spotify?', and the marked solution to his question is as below: 'Hey there, unfortunately it is not possible to sync any songs from Spotify to the iPod Nano. The feature you are referring to is an old feature of the desktop app that allowed you to sync MP3s to the iPod, however this never allowed you to sync Spotify songs to the iPod. This feature was removed a while ago from the desktop app.'

There is no special Spotify app designed for iPod Nano and Spotify iOS app can't be installed on iPod Nano because iPod Nano doesn't come with iOS system. Also, it's known to all that Spotify Free users must have internet connect to stream, and offline listening is one of the privileges of Spotify Premium. However, any songs downloaded from Spotify Premium on Spotify supported devices are Ogg Vorbis files with multimedia encryption and can't be added to iTunes for transferring to iPod Nano. Normal audio converters can't convert Spotify's protected Ogg files neither.

iPod Nano can only play MP3, M4A or WAV songs, so if you want to play Spotify songs on iPod Nano, you need to convert Spotify songs to iPod Nano supported format first. That is why you never miss TuneMobie Spotify Music Converter.
