Mac newbie here... what would be the place equivalent to Window's "Music > iTunes > iTunes Music" folder be in a Mac? I'm just wondering becaues that's usually where I have to keep my music in order for them to work. Unless all I'd have to do when exporting from a USB stick for music is drag and drop?

Because I'm looking to move the music from my iPod Classic to my new Mac. I have some music purchased from iTunes but a couple mixtapes downloaded online and from a third-party site. I was just wondering how to transfer those. Thanks.

In your home folder > Music > iTunes > iTunes Media > Music

Just copy the entire iTunes folder from the Windows music folder to the one in your Mac's home folder.

How do I do that when they're not connected? Are you talking about blue tooth perhap? (Another dumb question sorry)
