How to transfer podcasts to an iPod shuffle (2nd gen) in macOS Catalina

catalinaipod-shufflepodcasts

When I plug in an iPod shuffle (2nd generation), it appears in the sidebar under Devices in the new Music app, but not in the new Podcasts app. The iPod also appears as a location in Finder, but the "Podcasts" tab does not appear. How do I transfer Podcasts to the iPod?

Best Answer

My ipod shuffle would not show up in the finder when I plugged it in. Here's a workaround that worked for me:

  1. Open Music App
  2. Click on your iPod shuffle in the sidebar
  3. You should see a Sync Settings button in the upper right
  4. That will open the finder window where you can sync podcasts
