Unfortunately not.
Even iTunes does not have a method to copy music from an iPod back into iTunes. While there are third-party programmes that can recover music from an iPod, they have their limitations (most offer limited free recovery, after which you need to pay).

But, as above, you would need one of those applications in order to add the music to another iPod.
