Apple Music, at least when I last used it, could not handle copying podcasts to my old iPod Video - this is now handled in Finder, as best as I can tell. It will copy the tracks, but it doesn't properly flag them as podcasts so if I switch to another track and then go back to the podcast it does not remember my location.

Never had that problem with iTunes.

If you set your podcasts as AudioBooks and copy them in THAT area, it remembers where you were, at least. But you have to play them through Books.

I did find that workaround and then I just scrapped that Mac (because it was a Mac Mini that lost OS support) and went back to using gtkpod on Linux.
