can i transfer my music and books from a non functional, original ipod to a new to a new ipod touch

I have an 8+ year old 60 gb IPOD that bit the dust. I actually dropped it into my cats water bowl.

I am going to buy a 4th gen IPOD touch but, need to know how to transfer my music and books from the iTunes on my computer to the new device.

Any help is appreciated.
