Transfer music from iPod classic with short battery life to MP3 player without a computer

hi my wife has a iPod classic with a lot of music on it, the battery doesn’t last longer than 20 minutes from fully charged, can I transfer to an mp3 player without the use of a pc?

The system is set up to copy music one way: from a computer to the iPod classic – never from the iPod classic to a computer, or to another portable device. Hopefully, your wife preserved the music library on her computer that she used to load the iPod classic in the first place.

No.
