Transfer of CD ripped music from iPod Touch to iPhone music library

I have a very old iPod Touch that contains both purchased music and music that I ripped from multiple CD's (using my computer and iTunes a long time ago). At some point, the music I ripped from the CD's (over 300 songs) went missing as I do not see them in my Apple Music library and I cannot access them on my iPad, iPhone, or Computer. I could only access the CD ripped music from my iPod Touch and from the computer if I connect my iPod via USB. I would like to add/transfer the CD ripped music to my music library on my iPhone so I could get rid of my outdated iPod. I would prefer not to have to import from the CD's again. I read that third-party software may help but have no idea which one to use. Any assistance will be appreciated.

You would need to purchase touchcopy or imazing to export the music from ipod to your pc/mac.

In the olden days you would then sync your iphone to itunes to get the music.

I'm not sure how Apple music works to get those ripped songs to your iphone.

Or you may need to download Apple devices.
