Can’t you use your old iPod as an external hard-drive?
Should be possible via the normal windows explorer.

You actually have to set it to “Manually manage songs and playlists” before it will let you do that. I don’t know if iTunes will let you do that if the model is no longer supported.

Apple has always been famously hostile to unlicensed third-party programmers (aka “hackers”), which is kind of odd considering how Jobs & Wozinak got their start. They even tout it as a selling point, and while it does make it much more difficult to write viruses for Apple products, it also makes it much more difficult for hackers to repurpose and recycle their products as well.
