However, this limitation doesn't mean you're left without a solution to enjoy your beloved YouTube music on your iPod. By employing the essential system requirements mentioned below, you can convert and transfer your YouTube music library to various iPod models, including iPod Touch, early Nano, Classic, and Mini.
