I'm asking here after googling for over an hour! I'm having difficulty following any of the instructions I see online.

BTDT! Whew, that was a days work. Gotta refresh my memory here to recall how I did it...
-Go to folder, select this PC
-Select your ipod
-Not sure what files you have there, but under 'music' or 'ipod controls' you need to right click and select 'properties' there should be an option to 'show hidden folder in files' . Once you tick on that option, you will see folders under music named 'F01,F02, F03 etc
Hope it helps!

After I select my ipod, I don't see anything there at all, no options for "music" or "ipod controls". Can you tell me more specifically where I would find these options?

On itunes I can see everything that's there, but I don't know how to copy it from there onto the computer.

Right, iTunes won't let you copy. You have to go the your computer folder and select your ipod. You can only do it from there

It's hard for me to explain because from my end my folders are 'unhidden'
once you've clicked on your ipod folder, try to select 'properties' from the menu on top under tools I assume

As far as I know, you can’t copy music from iPods to your computer.
As part of the licensing agreements with record companies, iPod software is deliberately designed not to be able to do the transfer. It was viewed as a way to prevent music piracy. There might be hacks but it’s not generally done.
At this point music streaming services have really changed the whole music business so there isn’t the same issues of piracy but that’s different.
If you have purchased music in iTunes, you can download to your computer of course and have the time be available on all your devices.
There might be hacks to bypass the licensing and regular iOS but it’s not part of the iOS as an iPod is not a storage device like an external drive And doesn’t show up as transferable like a hard drive does.

Ok, it's 3/4 hour later and I found "show hidden files" on my computer control panel. Then all the files on the ipod became visible and I copied them onto my PC. Waiting for that to be done to see if they can be used as music or some encrypted worthless something or other.

Otherwise, usually when you connect the ipod to itunes-itunes can add those songs to its library-which are then stored in your regular documents folder within a folder within 'my music' -it's usually called something like 'itunes music' or 'music automatically added to itunes'
