[QUOTE="IWT, post: 1897019, member: 83420"] Hi fireman0174 and thank you for your interesting post. Firstly - a bit of clarification of the nomenclature; not as a criticism, but for clarity of understanding. iTunes it was and with macOS Catalina, it became Music. That is the name of the app, probably in your Dock and clicking on it opens what was iTunes and is now called Music. Why mention this? Because Apple Music is different (from Music app). It is a subscription service $9.99/month I think. This gives you access to 70 million songs held by Apple. You can download and play either online or offline, any or all of these; but you never own them. They are removed if you stop the subscription. Once that is cleared up, I am assuming that what you want are the songs that previously resided in iTunes app - and now reside in the newly named Music app - to be downloaded to your iPod Touch. The way to achieve this is to connect your iPod Touch via USB to your iMac. Now open Finder (NOT Music app). In Finder, look to the left sidebar. You should see the iPod Touch listed under "Locations". Click on it. Wait till it loads. On the centre part of the Screen you should see something like this: [ATTACH type="full"]35065[/ATTACH] General allows you to sync the iPod Touch with your Mac and should be self explanatory. Clicking on Music allow you to choose Artist, Albums,Genres, and Playlists. Make your choices. when finished, Click on Sync - bottom of the screen, far right. You can do this for the other items listed if you want - possibly not. Job done. Hope this helps. Do come back with further questions. Ian [/QUOTE]
