After none of the music apps that I installed correctly detected my 3G iPod, I decided to poke around and try to do it myself. I tried using ifuse, etc. using this article as a guide:
http://geeknizer.com/sync-iphone-linux/
But it would only mount my iPod in read-only. so then I tried mounting it manually but I didn't know what device it was, so over on Stack Overflow I found this command:
sudo lsblk -io NAME,TYPE,SIZE,MOUNTPOINT,FSTYPE,MODEL
And figured out my iPod was on /dev/sdd1
I then created a folder in /mnt
sudo mkdir /mnt/ipod
...then mounted it:
sudo mount -rw -o uid=1000 /dev/sdd1 /mnt/ipod
-rw is for read-write access, and I threw in -o uid=1000 to ensure that it's mounted for the currently logged in user. My uid happened to be 1000, but you can find yours by typing:
id -u <your_username_here>
I then used gtkpod to manage my iPod. It's not user-friendly so I followed this guide:
https://www.howtoforge.com/linux_gtkpod_ipod
TLDR for link above: create a new repository (point it to /mnt/ipod, tell it what model ipod you have, name it), then sync it off the main screen. you should see your files now.
