wav files can be used on the Classic (but wav should be avoided).

All your purchased music can be added to the iPod Classic, providing it is in your iTunes Library and in an appropriate format.

Format - the type of digital file - MP3, AAC, flac, wav etc.

It's not 'their' music, it's the artist's music Besides, neither Amazon nor Apple 'make' music. Likewise, Amazon Music, when misused, leads to confusion.

iTunes Music - I avoid the term since it leads to confusion.

iPod Classic - there's not much more that it does other than play music, so avoid using the term 'Apple Music' since the Classic doesn't have the Music app (inappropriately referred to by far too many people as Apple Music) and cannot use Apple Music (the subscription service).

No such thing on an iPod Classic (as far as I'm concerned) Used to play music, stored on the device, including your purchases.

Ignoring anyone's preferences or bias towards any term I use here, it's important that everyone understands what is meant by a specific term (or word) but so far, that isn't happening. Let's begin with some basics in order to clear up the obvious (to me) misunderstandings. Things are not as complex or futile as they seem. Wow! This discussion seems to have gone haywire.
