Can you still sync the 6th generation iPod Classic with modern iTunes?
The iPod Classic 6th generation can still sync with iTunes on older Windows versions and pre-Catalina macOS. Apple removed device syncing from macOS starting with Catalina in 2019, so Mac users must use third-party tools or Finder workarounds.
