Copy music from iPod classic to Music

I've been struggling with my iCloud Music library. the days when stuff synched seamlessly on Apple devices are over. recently when trying to reset an iPod I erased all music on iCloud rather than just on the iPod. I managed to restore most from an iMac with a synch issue. But somehow not all music wants to get back on board. but on an old iPod I found, there it still is. But I find it impossible to get the music off my iPod onto my iMac Music library. it just wants to sync everything onto the iPod which will delete everything. Combining all music just doesn't seem to be an option

Any tips?

iMac 27″, macOS 14.6

You can only sync to one itunes library which is why it wants to delete data off your ipod.

You'll need to purchase touch copy or imazing to export the music from ipod to your iMac.
