Itunes cannot read contents of ipod classic

Hello artie19,

The answer will depend on where the music originated from. If it was purchased from iTunes, then you can re-download available tracks from your purchase history using a computer, and can then sync them. Here are the steps: Redownload music - Apple Support

If your content was synced from another source, like a computer, then you will need to locate that music on the computer and sync that music to the iPod after resetting it.

If you can provide us more details about what's going on and where the music came from, we can help provide you more specific answers.

Cheers!

See Corrupt iPod Classic - Apple Community. The first section deals with options for data retrieval. The HDD stats will be useful in analysing the health of the drive.
