syncing to a new computer

I have my Ipod Classic synced to a very old Toshiba computer. I have 40GB of music on Iplayer on the Toshiba carefully accumulated over a dozen years or so. The Toshiba is now pretty much finished and I have a fairly new Macbook Air. My problem is this, is it possible to transfer all the music from the Toshiba to the Macbook Air? I have plugged the Ipod into the Mac and the music files do appear but in a recessed font, and can't be played or accessed. I am dreading the thought that I will have to start again from scratch and start uploading all my music from CD again. Hope my question makes sense and someone has an answer.

Use an external USB hard drive. The format is not important, FAT DOS is fine. Hook it up to your Toshiba and drag and drop your music on it. Now plug it into your Mac. Do an import in iTunes and tell it to look on the hard drive. This should do the trick.
