Is it true that I cannot use an iPod Classic with Mac OS 10.15.5 Catalina?

I have an extensive collection of iPods with hard drives and I would love to be able to use at least one of them with my new MacBook Pro 16 Inch laptop. Is there anything any of you very smart Mac users can offer me to get these iPods up and running with my new computer?

Syncing your iPod, restoring the device, manually adding content to it, manage storage (removing content from a manually managed device), renaming it, etc. These functions that were part of iTunes prior to macOS 10.15 Catalina are now available in Finder when using Catalina or later. The playback and other organizational tools of iTunes have been moved into Music, TV, Podcasts, and Books. See What happened to iTunes? - Apple Support.
