If you have a Windows PC, by using iTunes.
Make sure that you do not have the Apple Music app, the Apple TV or Apple Devices apps installed in your iTunes, as they will prevent you from seeing the music that you own and have in your library.
You need to have your purchased music downloaded onto your computer and listed in your iTunes library. Then you connect the iPod via the cable that came with the iPod (the charging cable), set Sync options and then synchronise so that the music is added to the iPod.
Note that you cannot use Apple Music (music from the Apple Music subscription service) on that model of iPod.
If you have a Mac, which operating system does it have on it? If it OS Mojave (10:14) or earlier, use iTunes. If it's OS Catalina (10:15) or later, use Finder to manage your iPod.
If you are stuck at any point above, post back with details about what is preventing you from proceeding.
