iPod song transfer to iMac or iPhone

I have an iPod Touch -5th generation. Originally I downloaded songs and albums from CDs. When I got my iphone and iMac, I synced the devices and all songs transferred except for the ones that I had downloaded from CD. What do I have to do?

iPod, iOS 9

You either have to redownload your CD's to iTunes (or Finder) and then sync. Or use a 3rd party app to transfer them to your computer and then to the iPhone. Do a search on Transfer music from iPod to computer.

I like this idea alot. I was getting very discouraged with all the trouble. ( When I originally loaded these songs it was a big deal because i had them on a sony walkman and had to convert all of them for my ipod.) I am energized now with this possibility that seems like it will work for me. And will get the external drive. Do I download them to my iMac desktop? to the Music app? Thank you.
