Classics are well classic Without WiFi your choices are few. Classic iPod design predates any cloud music offering. WiFi makes it easy to use match. I'm confused your music is stored on your MBP already? Have you selected automatic downloads under preferences-store?Thank you... It's not ideal, I have only a MBP, and need to sync my 2 iPod classics to get music I have purchased from the iTune store, rather than storing my music in the cloud it is stored on my computer.
